What Makes LG Dishwasher Repairs Different
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)

Common LG Dishwasher Problems
- 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 not cleaning. LG points first to scraping large food scraps and loading so dishes don't overlap or block the spray arms, then cleaning the filter and spray arms. Source: LG USA Support - Why Your LG Dishwasher Isn't Cleaning Dishes Well and How to Fix It
