LG Dishwasher Leaks
Hi Jim,I recently noticed exactly the same symptoms with my
LDS4821 which I think is a similar age.After a bit of head scratching and a similar door cover
removal exercise I also figured it must be coming via
that round vent and then on down the plastic duct that
runs to the bottom left vent in the door that you
photographed.Here's what I did which has certainly fixed my leak:1/ First I cleaned around the inside of the round vent
on this inside of the door. Specifically I removed all
the accumulated crud around the edges of the circular
yellow rubber gasket piece at the center of the vent on
the inside the machine (your first photo). I did this
after untwisting the circular grill that holds that in
place - my vent unit behind that grill also wiggles
around by the way, but only when that round grill has
been unscrewed! I was careful to make sure that the unit
behind the grill was seated properly again when I
twisted the grill back on to tighten it and hold it in
place again. I actually checked this with the front of the
door taken off for this second step below to make sure
there would be no issues with the outer seal around that
vent unit (where it presses up against the inside of the
metal door to form a seal when the round vent grill is srewed on).2/ This I think is actually the critical step. I noticed
a second black hose that runs down from the plastic vent
structure almost directly behind where the round grill
is positioned on the inside of the door. See the picture I've attached re. the tube I am talking about. Looking at this I figured it's some kind of internal drain (that seems to drain back into the washing compartment itself at the
bottom). Given that I'd seen some crud on the
yellow rubber gasket I wondered if some crud had also
blocked the top of this hose, leaving any water that gets in there to
then run on down and out of that vent at the bottom
instead. Sure enough when I employed the crude (but
apparently effective!) technique of sucking on the
bottom end of that tube to see if it was clear, I soon
enough felt a blockage break and I just had time to aim
the tube away before a bunch of grey crud came sweeping
down the tube, followed by some clearer water. By the
looks of it you might be able to unclip the hose clamp
at the top and do it somewhat more professionally to
avoid the risk of a mouthful of 2-3 year old dish crud
in your mouth!I've just run it through a full 'normal' cycle and it's
back to working normally again - no more leaks.Well dishwashers may **** at times, but apparently I do
too...Hope this helps.-Dan

LG LDS4821 Appears to be leaking from the drying
The leak is coming from the loose gasket in the fan assembly (blower) connected to the vent cover. What I did to fix my leak was a simple step of adding petroleum jelly (e.g., Vaseline) around the gasket holder and reuse the same gasket (clean all parts first, including the gunk inside the fan blower assembly) and the leak stopped!! My wife was so proud of me!
Oe code. Will not
Hi
OE in your dishwasher is a
drain error and dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked
drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain
is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then
remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump
for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely.
Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller & clean the
chopper assembly. If the issue
returns after cleaning then the drain pump assembly should be replaced. Hope
this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Keeps stopping and showing OE
Hi tpearsgolf,
The "OE" error code you are seeing, means "Outlet Error"
The drain pump is either clogged, or the outlet hose has been kinked.
- Inspect the Drainage hose at the back for kinks. - If any, straighten the hose
- Open the unit, and at the bottom sump check the small drain pump area for any foreign object that may be obstructing it. You can remove the filter, as well as the metalish sieve underneath it, check the sump underneath near the drainage holes, make sure nothing is obstructing the flow out of the machine from there.
If not successful, you will need to replace the Drain Pump.
Kind Regards :-)

Water is not draining.... OE symbol appears on
Hello & Welcome to FixYa
OE is a drain error and is displayed when the
washer is unable to drain water. Please check the drain hose and drain pump
filter by removing the bottom front access panel for any clogs to clean the error. Please get back to me if you have any
other questions.

Why is the water still
Drain pump not working anymore. Check the outlet hose and let it lie on the floor to drain most water out of the dishwasher, then remove the Top Panel (fastened by 2 screws at the back) and then the side panels. A normal Dishwasher should be attached to the sump.
Kind Regards :-)

My lg dishwasher is leaving food particles on
Check for blockage of the spray arm holes. If they are clear, replace the VIRO motor. It is a small motor next to the main wash motor, which turns a cam, directing water to the bottom, then the top spray arms. (usually, changes position every 2 minutes or so) You will need to remove the dishwasher from the cabinet to replace the VIRO motor.
How do i mount the
THERE ARE A FEW STEPS TO THIS.
1) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SEPERATE FUSE AND ELECTRICAL WIRE LEADING TO YOUR DISHWASHER AREA. ITS REQUIRED BY ELECTRICAL CODE.
2) WILL NEED A WATER LINE RAN OVER TO THE DISHWASHER AREA.
3) YOU WILL NEED A WATER DRAIN LINE RAN OVER TO THE DISHWASHER AREA.
ONCE THESE ARE THERE, THEN ALL THE CONNECTIONS CAN BE MADE.
MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE REQUIRES A CERTAIN SIZE SPACE UNDER THE KITCHEN COUNTER. YOUR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION BOOK WILL TELL YOU THE SIZE REQUIRED
IF THERE WAS NOT ONE THERE BEFORE.
