Chances are that the water pump seal has deteriorated to the point where the water has leaked into the pump (and the floor) and caused problems with corrosion.
You might have had an E1 error code on the panel as well, if not, check out all the hoses for kinks etc then check the water pump condition for leakage. If it leaks, you will have to replace it as it is a sealed unit.
The manufacturer has assigned the E1 error or fault code to indicate that when the drain pump is running it is not experiencing the back pressure it expects. This is usually an indication that there is a water leak in the drain system. Check all hoses and connections. Check under the dishwasher for any major leak. If all checks out, be certain there is a proper loop in the drain hose to prevent siphoning. Finally, if the problem persists, the drain pump itself might be defective, this is not repairable and will have to be replaced.
The LG does suffer from "poor quality" motor that causes this type of noise. The main motor and pump assembly is common to give this type of problem. The pump seal leaks a small amount of water that gets onto the front bearing and causes a "grinding = humming" noise. This can be easly replaced once you have the bottom off and dishwasher on its door. The motoe has 1 screw in the back holding the motor to the bottom and two rubber seals for the water pump in/out into the washer. Just pull and move motor and pump assmbly and it comes free. Replace with a new motor and pump assembly...
The E1 you are seeing means Water
Level in Drum lowering, it is usually a leak on the Circulation Pump, which is responsible for
pushing the water to the Spray arms.
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. Part Number: 5859DD9001A or 5859ED1001A (Depending
which one is in stock)

Please check at both ends of the drain hose and confirm that you do nit have a leak. Also, please confirm that water is not leaking directly under the dishwasher.
If you are certain that you do not have a real leak, check the impeller (under the mesh filter in the sump area beneath the lower dish rack) is not damaged and is firmly in place.
The E1 error code is a Leakage Error, detected by the motor spinning faster than it should if the unit is filled with water.
Please report back with what you find. Good Luck!
Well done by resolving this problem. The other way to avoid the siphoning problem through the drain hose is adding an air gap valve/connector (available at any hardware store). You can use it even if you don't have a garbage disposal in your kitchen sink. That will assure that you have the proper height of the drain hose.
Hope this helps!
