LG LD-1420T1 Dishwasher Questions & Answers
Dishwasher LD-1420T1 tripping power in the house?
Okay, this could be tricky because depending on who installed it, they might have wired into it. Check your garbage disposal and if you have anything else plugged in nearby, check that wiring too. Some installers have a nasty issue when it comes to hard wiring. They don't like doing it. So instead of hard-wiring your garbage disposal, they'll cut it in to your dishwasher. If your garbage disposal or anything else is wired to your dishwasher the load on the washer and the current the washer is using is too high. That's going to trip your breakers. You should probably contact an electrician and have them check the breaker box to make sure it's wired correctly. You may need to upgrade the breaker or have the dishwasher circuit upgraded. If it's an old house, it could be anything but first, check to see that nothing is wired into your dishwasher. You can tell if you have a few switches in the same outlet and turn them off. If your garbage disposal won't work and the DW won't either, then you have a wiring issue. That's the easiest way to start.
Our 3 month old machine started making a high
I share your frustration with the same machine. Mine is approx 3-4 months old and within the first month i had a leak at the base of the machine which was fixed under warranty. The following month the machine started leaving water in the base of the unit after the wash cycle was complete. LG claim it is an electronic fault in the circuit board. I have refused repair and am now claiming a replacement with them. I don't feel it is acceptable for a machine that's only 3months old to give problems such as these.
Shortly after cycle starts, a whirring sound
with LG dishwashers: after starting, 1st, DW pumps out any remaining water, 2nd, DW fill fresh water, 3rd, main wash motor starts, which is normally a whirring sound. (If you here grinding or rattling, then you have a problem.)
LG ldf8072st after 40 minutes or so into a wash I get a IE code.
Make sure the water valve is fully opened. Check the water supply hose. Make sure that the line is not kinked or sharply bent.
...
Check the following for the IE error:
- Check the water pressure.
- Check the water tap or valve.
- Check the water supply hose.
- Check the water supply.
LG LD-2052SH. Hi, I have an LG dishwasher and the upper spray arm is not cleaning satisfactorily.
Remove the upper wash arm from the rack. Examine thoroughly. Look for hair line cracks especially if the wash arm is plastic. Top rack wash arms have spray holes on the top AND bottom. Check both places. Sometimes small fish bones will clog the hallway of wash arm not just the holes. After years of use, the wash arm will bow especially plastic ones. Be sure the water connection to wash arm is Secure. If you think the wash arm is not spinning, try this. Place a old cell phone inside a sealed glass jar and start recording video from the lower rack. Be sure jar is Secure. The light from phone will come on. You might see the problem this way.
I have an LG dishwasher that gives me an EO error
The logic Board inside the Control Panel says 'If this machine on _this_ cycle doesn't drain within xy seconds, I will throw an error code'.
Take your high loop and run it into a pail, does it run well, does it throw the code? No? That's your problem, Yes, move onto the next test.
Clean the filter strainer in the machine, and what about the fine filter below the strainer that protects the wash pump? Working now? That was the issue. No? Move to next test.
Remove the Drain Pump and see if you can disassemble it? Look for debris inside and look to see if the impeller is damaged/ Or just replace it AT THIS STAGE, not before the other tests. Diagnose, and then replace..

LG Stainless. P/no 3850DD3006A NOT drying dishes or seemingly getting hot water. Any ideas?
Check the heating element. A quick functional test is to start a cycle that uses the heating element, cancel it after a couple of minutes into that cycle, then (carefully) put your hand near it to see if it is warmer than the surrounding parts. If not, start there.
If you are familiar with the use of a multimeter, and you can get at the underside of the dishwasher, you would disconnect power to the dishwasher, find the heater terminals underneath, then measure the resistance. It should be a low value, not more than a hundred ohms or so (this type of heater probably has a resistance around 10-30 ohms). Look for oxidation on the terminals or connectors on the wires. If there is corrosion, (especially signs of water leaking onto the terminals), clean that up and fix any leaks. If the heater reads open, replace it.
