This is a very common and frustrating issue, leaving dirty water stagnant in the tub after a cycle. It often points to a clogged or faulty drain pump, an obstructed drain hose (e.g., food debris, kink), or a malfunction in the dishwasher’s control board that prevents the drain cycle from activating. We meticulously clear obstructions and replace faulty pumps.

If your dishes come out with food particles, spots, or residue, despite running a full cycle, there are several potential causes. This could be due to clogged spray arms (preventing proper water distribution), a malfunctioning wash pump (not generating enough water pressure), a faulty heating element (not heating water sufficiently), a clogged filter, or issues with the detergent dispenser.

Water leaks can cause significant damage to your kitchen floor and cabinetry.They can originate from numerous sources, including a loose or damaged water inlet hose, a faulty water inlet valve, a compromised drain hose connection, a cracked tub, a faulty pump seal, or an issue with the door seal/gasket. We meticulously trace the source of the leak and provide a lasting repair.

Strange sounds like grinding, buzzing, thumping, or rattling during operation often indicate worn or faulty components. This could be due to a failing wash pump motor (especially if it’s grinding), a clogged drain pump with debris, worn spray arm bearings, or even a loose object inside the dishwasher.

If your LG dishwasher is completely unresponsive – no lights, no display, no response to button presses – the problem is electrical. Common causes include a tripped household circuit breaker, a faulty door latch or door switch (which must engage for the dishwasher to start), or a defective main control board. We safely test all electrical pathways to diagnose the power issue.

Modern LG dishwashers utilize sophisticated self-diagnostic systems that often display specific error codes on their digital displays to alert you to internal malfunctions. These codes are invaluable for rapid diagnosis. Please refer to our detailed section below on common LG dishwasher error codes and how our experts resolve them.

If your dishwasher isn’t filling adequately, it could be due to kinked or clogged water inlet hoses, clogged water inlet screens, faulty water inlet valves (which control water flow), or an issue with the water flow meter.

If the dispenser doesn’t open, your detergent won’t be released, leading to dirty dishes. This is often caused by a faulty wax motor that controls the dispenser door or an issue with the control board.
