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. The Sweet Home list starts with companies that name LG, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on dishwashers.
Independent listings only: Dishwasher Repairs is not affiliated with or endorsed by LG. If your dishwasher is still under manufacturer coverage, contact LG directly.

- Dishwasher not draining. LG says to clean the mesh filter first, then look for a crushed or kinked drain hose and check the air gap and disposal knockout. Source: LG USA Support - How to Fix an LG Dishwasher That Is Not Draining (OE Error)
