How LG Dishwashers Are Built
LG uses a removable mesh filter that the owner twists counterclockwise to lift out and rinse, rather than a self-cleaning grinder. Source: LG USA Support - How to Fix an LG Dishwasher That Is Not Draining (OE Error)
Common LG Dishwasher Problems
- 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)

What St. Andrews Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in St. Andrews come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.

In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
