AM 14 C commercial dishwasher. water leaks from "spinner spouts" when unit is not in use. Any ideas?

The unit has what is called a 3-way valve and is operated by a solenoid, depending on the age of the unit LG can let you know the part number for you to order this valve.

the elements should not be red as this indicates a lack of water to cover the elements
that would account for the spinners not working as the pump will not be pumping water to make them spin
check the water level or call a technician to diagnose the problem properly and quote

the spinner arm itself may be blocked..............remove arm and check hold are clear..........

cheers

possible blockage at sink pipe where the drain hose connects to. the drain hose is attached to the spout on the pipe. remove the clip holding the drain hose to the spout, remove drain hose gently, put drain hose into a bucket and then turn unit on to a cycle. it should start draining straight away.if it does drain into bucket u have a blockage in the spout. put a small screwdriver into spout to unblock . then put drain hose back onto spout with clip and run a cycle. before i forget when and if the water starts draining into the bucket turn off the unit so u can put the drain hose back on. if u need more help please reply. good luck.

replace the wter conduit that runs up to the top and center spinner arms,after while these plastic conduit outlets get worn by water going thru them and leak past the o-rings installed on them

dishwasher leaking from the door or from the bottom of the door is common problem and yes its advisable to get it fixed.but if its having any other problem other then leaking then it has to be checked first.but leaking problem is common it can be solved.first from which part of the door area the leak is occuring that has to be checked.
Some common leaking trouble makers....
Leaks at the door:
Door gasket loose/torn
Corner gaskets or door baffle/vent gasket
Door lock/latch loose/broken
Split spray arm
Over filling with water...usually the level is just under the heating element is normal
Something leaking through the door...like the soap or rinse agent dispenser gasket, silverware basket button.
Door hinge(s) bent
Wrong soap was used...dish sink soap instead of dishwasher soap
Rinse aid being used with mechanically softened water ( makes foam or suds inside the dishwasher )

Leaks from under the unit:
Look for whiting or calcium stain on the motor and pump assembly = motor and pump assembly seal leak...access panel removal help
Hose for upper spray arm split
Fill hose split or fill hose spout air inlet is calcium covered
Drain hose is split
Rusted liner...metal liners only
Fill valve leaking or allowing water to fill all the time
Heating element ends....where they come out through the dishwasher liner
Float or float gasket

Most likely a leaking fill valve...the seat may be worn out or there may be some debris in it causing it to not fully close.

Perhaps Insinger offers a valve rebuild kit. [email protected]

check the water line to the unit and take it loose from the solinoid there might be some trash in the line or calcium build up

Pour a gallon of white vinegar in bottom run halfway thru wash cycle turn off let unit sit overnight to properly soak-then run a couple of times to rinse out vinegar(vinegar dissolves calcium which causes unit to not function properly) also check unit inlet for contaminates and clean as neccesary install inline filter if not one there..(the hot water tank will tell if you have a calcium problem(hard water problem)shut off unit undo relief valve on tank hook up hose to bottom then drain check for white chunks),calcium wreaks havoc on all household appliances and shortens there lifespan!!! :)
