- Dishwasher not filling. LG says to confirm the house has water, straighten a kinked inlet hose and make sure the supply valve under the sink is fully open. Source: LG USA Support - [LG Dishwasher] Guide to Error Codes
- 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
