How LG Dishwashers Are Built
QuadWash models run four spray arms rather than two, so a blocked or damaged arm is one of several parts a tech checks for poor cleaning. Source: LG USA - 24 Inch Smart Dishwasher with QuadWash and Adjustable 3rd Rack, 44dB

What LG Says to Check First
- 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
- 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)
