What a LG Dishwasher Technician Deals With

Common LG Dishwasher Problems
- 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 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

What Central Falls Owners Should Know
