What a LG Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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
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

Local Notes for Honolulu
Most dishwasher calls in Honolulu come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Hawaii has no appliance repair license classification; the Contractors License Board's specialty classifications cover related trades such as plumbing (including fuel gas piping), refrigeration, and ventilating and air conditioning, and a contractor license applies to jobs that need a building, electrical or plumbing permit. Source: Description of Contractor License Classifications (Hawaii DCCA Contractors License Board)
In Hawaii, you can check a license with the Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing public license search or report a problem to the Hawaii DCCA Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO).
Questions to Ask a Honolulu Technician
- If the dishwasher is leaking, will you pull the kick panel to find where the water starts?
- What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?
- Do you also handle the water supply and drain connections, or should I call a plumber for those?
