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.
Independent listings only: Dishwasher Repairs is not affiliated with or endorsed by LG. If your dishwasher is still under manufacturer coverage, contact LG directly.

Local Notes for Poughkeepsie
Poughkeepsies' Water Treatment Facility (owned and operated by the City and Town of Poughkeepsie), which supplies Poughkeepsie, reports hardness of 74.5 mg/L average (about 4.4 grains per gallon; range 57-120 mg/L) — moderately hard. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
