What LG Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
