Know Your LG Dishwasher
How LG Dishwashers Are Built
An overfill flow switch shuts the unit off when it senses too much water, and it can take up to 48 hours of drying with the power off for the switch to reset. Source: LG USA Support - LG Dishwasher Error Code List
What LG Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not filling. LG says to confirm the house has water, straighten a kinked inlet hose and make sure the supply valve under the sink is fully open. Source: LG USA Support - [LG Dishwasher] Guide to Error Codes
- Dishwasher making noise. LG treats fill whistling and some air-sucking sounds as normal, says rattling usually means loose dishes or an unseated filter, and flags squealing or grinding as a possible pump problem. Source: LG USA Support - LG Dishwasher Noises
