Will not work but will drain water. Its an Omega brand d/washer and the error code I get is E1 (been on line and this shows Water Leakage). I have checked all the fittings/connections and there is no water leaking.
SOURCE: E1 error on LG - LD-4120M
E1 is a common error in the LG Dishwasher range and is usually caused by the failure of the circulation pump and/or the impeller.
The motor and impeller are a complete unit.
Often what happens is the impeller breaks on the motor shaft and doesn't spin, therefore doesn't pump water.
There is a pressure sensor which indicates the lack of pressure and shuts the machine down with the E1 error being displayed.
The lack of pressure can also be from a water leak (as the owners manual suggests) also a controller PCB fault may produce an E1 error, however, the pump problem is extremely common.
Unfortunately, I have had 5 pumps die in 4 years and my dishwasher is only used about 4 times a week.

Maybe the blockage is somewhere else. How about removing all the trays from the dishwasher, in other words, empty it from all racks and dishes and try it again

The most common problem on an LG dishwasher when error code E1 is reported but there is no actual leak found is the problem of a natural syphon being created by improper installation of the dishwasher. Pretty easy to fix: Either add an Air Gap valve (available at any hardware store for almost free) or follow the drain hose from the dishwasher to the drain. Raise the hose and attach the hose to the up onto the bottom of the countertop. Adding that "rise" eliminates the possibility for the syphon effect to drain the dishwasher before the drain cycle begins.
If the hose ever fall back down, the problem will return immediately. Adding the Air Gap valve is harder but is far more permanent (and complies with construction codes that really should not be ignored.)

take a look at the seal in between the connection, see it there is a crack, replace it

Are you draining the unit in the basement or under the kitchen sink?
If you are draining the unit to the floor you will need a new drain hose with a syphon breaker. This drain hose is factory installed on all new LG dishwashers.
The part # is AEM69493801
This is a known issue and may be covered under your factory warranty.
Depending on where you live a factory service tech may be in your area.
Could you explain the second problem further...Hard time shutting down?
Shoot me a E-mail @ [email protected].
I am a LG factory service technician not a sub contractor.
