How LG Dishwashers Are Built
LG specifies a drain hose no longer than 12 feet with its end held roughly 12 to 40 inches above the floor, and the disposal knockout plug must be removed on new installs. Source: LG USA Support - How to Fix an LG Dishwasher That Is Not Draining (OE Error)
What LG Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
