A LG dishwasher shares most of its basic parts with other dishwashers, but its filter design, drying system, controls and error codes are specific to the brand. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions LG and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with LG, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.

How LG Dishwashers Are Built

QuadWash models run four spray arms rather than two, so a blocked or damaged arm is one of several parts a tech checks for poor cleaning. Source: LG USA - 24 Inch Smart Dishwasher with QuadWash and Adjustable 3rd Rack, 44dB
Common LG Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not draining. LG says to clean the mesh filter first, then look for a crushed or kinked drain hose and check the air gap and disposal knockout. Source: LG USA Support - How to Fix an LG Dishwasher That Is Not Draining (OE Error)
- 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
