Independent listings only: Dishwasher Repairs is not affiliated with or endorsed by LG. If your dishwasher is still under manufacturer coverage, contact LG directly.

LG Dishwasher Symptoms and First Checks

- Dishwasher leaking. LG says most leaks come from installation, detergent or upkeep, so check that the unit is level and the door gasket is clean before looking at connections. Source: LG USA Support - LG Dishwasher: How to Fix Common Leaking Issues
