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 Umatilla list starts with companies that name LG, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on dishwashers.

How LG Dishwashers Are Built

What LG Says to Check First
- 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)
- 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
