Hello Anonymous...
You hit on the reason ($$$$) I come here to contribute... Times are hard, money is scares... and my darling inhabitants are hurting...
Sometimes I can help not throw away a nearly perfect
(and faithful) appliance ... The ULTIMATE in recycling...
((Good for all of us... "inhabitants" (EARTH will be fine)).
((If you have ever seen our home from space...
It's a really pretty place. I'm not so worried for the place...
But there's a CERTAIN magic with these inhabitants...
If we pull together... It will be quite REWARDING)).
So...Thank you for ASKING.
I have a FREE manuals site where I start to read your
owner's manual... Better still... The Manufacturer also
prints "SERVICE MANUALS"...
several are shown... (don't go there yet)
ManualsLib Makes it easy to find manuals online
So being a MORE is BETTER GUY... I chose the one
that occupies the most memory....
and ran through the index 'til we got to trouble codes...
We are starting where your (pretty clever) sweetums found his
CODE clues... and we are going to look backwards..
To find "Thermostat"... (Found "thermistor").
Even if I am WRONG... You will now remember the secret handshake...& always know of the "MAGIC" of errors codes..
(which begin on your FREE page 36...
Although there is another "thermistor" error...
It is an over heat condition.. but it all for the entire PCB (printed control board) to be replaced
LG Dishwasher Main Control Board 6871DD1006Q
Code looks like an EE
with the top bar missing from the first "E"
(making it an inverted "F" (an important difference)...
~~
We are going with ""HE""
HE"(symptom: water is not being heated)
Code yields...
>> HEATER ERROR... (check/replace "thermistor")
LDS5811WW (et al): >> (click here))...
LG DF6810WW Service Manual Page 36
This enables us to search on-line parts houses,
(everybody sells pretty much the same parts... $$, Services & guaranteed fits are different ... (My personal experience SEARS folks a rude, pushy, abusive but make up for all that by their higher than average prices... (I used to be a KENMORE fan))...
SEARS says.. the code is "tE"...
and further states the control board must be replaced
Now I use appliancepartspros, partselect, repairclinic (etc.)...
Sites (with VIDEOS) that respond to an internet search on
"LDS5811WW + thermister"
No "THERMISTER" parts found
Search Over 2 1 Million Appliance Parts
Sadly... Henry (SEARS) says the "thermister" is an integrated part of the HEATER... further adding "the part may be returned if it does not fix your trouble $54.03...ish
(SEARS = guaranteed fit).

you have to pull the dishwasher out from the opening to access the pump.sounds like a possible seal in the pump,leaking supply line, or where the water drain is at the pump.the problem with lg is you only can get parts from lg.com...i would pull out the dishwasher and while it's out,try to run it to isolate the leak.good luck

Not sure what you mean by a "del" level, but as far a drying issues:
LG chose to use a very energy efficient drying method which relies on the residual heat of the dishes to help dry them rather than many manufacturers who use a heating element. For this reason, plastic items (which do not retain heat as well as china, glass, or metal) will not dry as well. Also, with LG dishwashers it is especially important to use a rinse aid, such as Jet Dry, to reduce water surface tension, allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Of course with any dishwasher, it is also important to have soft water, but make sure to use a small amount of dishwasher detergent. Too much detergent can cause excessive suds, which may contribute to water leakage.

The LE code indicates motor failure (or intermittent problem with motor). Based on what Ive read their support sucks, so sory to be bearer of bad news...

check for voltage at the water valve when it should be filling Try disconnecting the Water Valve outlet from the DishWasher and run the output into a bucket if all is well with the valve then remove the door panel and inspect the wires near the bottom of the door. the wires get buried in the tar like insulation causing the wires to break as the door is opened and closed.That tar like substance is one of the worst things they could of ever put into that machine causes the wires to break apart adn become brittle
