Hi,

I have not seen this model here in Australia, so I am not sure if the box you are referring to is the inlet solenoid or a pressure limiter. It would be a difficult task to disconnect the hose from the other end where it attaches to the base internals of the machine.
Two suggestions:
1) Drill a big hold in your cabinet to allow the hose fitting to pass through.
2) Or you can get a hose adapter and attach a second hose on the end of this one. The normal inlet hoses would have a small head so you can pass this through the existing hole in your cabinet. If you do this make sure the excess hose is tucked away under the cabinet, when you push the dishwasher in, otherwise you will get kinks in the hose.

Hi amloots,

The E1 error can be fixed by following my Tip below:

L.G DISHWASHER E1 ERROR...

Follow these directions, and the problem will be fixed.

Kind Regards :-)

* If this solution helped you, please rate it.

The E1 you are seeing means the following: Water Level in Drum lowering, this means there is a leak on one of the pipes.

But from previous experiences it is more than likely that it is the Circulation pump. It will have to be replaced, as it is a common spare that has to be replaced on L.G Dishwashers (lifetime expectancy: 12 - 18 Months) - Not very expensive.

Usually is about 20%-25% the price of a new Dishwasher. The Circulation pump is fitted to the sump. Part Number: 5859DD9001A or 5859ED1001A (Depending which one is in stock)

Good Luck :-) - J.Q

* If you found this solution helpful, please vote positively. A 4 four thumbs up will do nicely too :-)

The filter is probably blocked.

It is inside the base of the machine.

Take out the filter and clean it and also clean out the filter well as that can also hold quite a bit of debris.

LE is an ie .. water inlet problem. ... manual says to check for clogged, kinked, or frozen water inlet hose. check water supply.

OE. Drainage problem
FE excessive water supplied
E1 water leakage problem
HE heater circuit failure
TE thermistor failure, or very high inlet water temp
PF. power failure.

check with LG I am guessing on line... .

pour right into the main opening( under the cap where you see the lever with 1,2,3.. the 2 slots are simply air holes... liquid will drain through..some bubles are normal.

p8 of the install manual speaks to brackets/screws/ caps used. Screws/caps are on the inside of the tub on the frame

check the level of the Dw per the instructions.. may need to raise the front up... If you take the front kick plate off( 2 screws) there are 2 white feet at the front... also phillips screws above(inset) that control the height of the back 2 feet.
Manual tells you where to place the level.. for plumb levelling the manuals stated to put the level on the front side of the cabinet( where the door closes on to)... on the vertical side. Adjust the front feet down, or the back ones upward( need to watch to keep the side to side level when doing this too...

Good luck

OE is a drainage problem. Check all lines, and drains for kinks.blockage. Ours was blocked in the T connection where the drain goes into the sink( in the black ABS sink part.) Used a screwdriver to simply clear the t connection with the drain hose disconnected.... ran the DW( where it fills w/ water) ,then turn off, and put the drain hose into a bucket... if its pumping water out well, then it could be the sink drain.
If not... a line somewhere is plugged.

recommend right from LG.
in canada ca.lge.com, or 1-888-542-2623

no part numbers in the manuals that I have for it, but the brackets are called "installation brackets", ad come with wood screws.
The install manual is part no 3828dd3003e

lg electronics (Canada) 1-888-542-2623. or ca.lge.com

good luck

check the drain where it connects to the sink. the small t connection... insert screw driver into the hole under the sink... we found it was plugged creating poor drainage.

no sounds like a thin piece of glass in drain pump propeller

Hi,

I have an older dishwasher also and recently my wife also complained about it not cleaning right... so me being the man I am tried in vain to clean the things... Bought new spray arms online and installed them in minutes...now the thing works like new... However I have also found that if the heating element goes bad then that also can mess things up bad... So I would buy new spray arms, and also check out the heating element to make sure it is working... Here is a tip that will help you with the online buying...

I have the same problem and am looking into the heating element or the relay that controls the heating element. Steam does not come out anymore when door is opened to unload. I am thinking relay bad more than the actual heating element. Hard to get info and the tech was looking through home owner manual to figure it out. Poor service there.
