For Tony R.: Sounds like the electronic control panel located at the top of the door. It costs about $200. Had the same issue last year. Something to do with moisture from inside the dishwasher affecting the board. I hear the replacement parts have added extra protection (better board sealant?). It has been a year since I replaced it and so far, so good.
My control panel cracked right at the power button about a week after installation, and it was letting in crazy amounts of moisture. Despite that, the panel lasted 4 years before it started acting up. Bought a replacement for 200 and it's new again!
Awesome, will give this a shot. Have this same model and it just recently started shutting off randomly after a few minutes of starting a cycle. No error codes, it'll just power down, then power back up. The other day, all of the lights on the display turned on at once. Not sure what any of it means. It's only about 1.5 years old and for the prices, it's pretty ridiculous that we're already having issues with it.
@@Virsavia77 No, haven't had a chance to go through these steps. Was going to give the "smart diagnosis " a try sometime next week. You call into customer support, push some buttons on the washer then place the phone near the washer and the customer service rep is supposed to be able to tell you what's wrong with it.
@@TROD760 thank you for respond. We will do smart diagnostic too because regular diagnostic didn't help. The dishwasher turned off during diagnostic and we don't understand why.
You didn't address my problem but you fixed it just the same! Couldn't get rid of the "CL" (Control Lock) despite following all prescribed solutions, including turning the breaker off for awhile. I ran your tests and the CL disappeared and it started right up. Many Thanks! (LG Model LDT7808BD)
I have a 8 months old LG Dishwasher that keeps getting an IE error every two months or so. The technician has been onsite to replace the water inlet valve 3 times and so I have asked LG to take this dishwasher back since they don't seem to be able to fix this issue. After this experience I will never buy an LG appliance ever again!
Very interesting video.. any idea about a command to recalibrate or hard-reset the dishwasher? I'm facing the BE error code everytime when the dishwasher should start drying, it stops. Tried the milk solution, cleaning several times and checking the leveling but nothing is working... any help would be really apreciated!
Looking for video to change a cracked steam inlet hose. The preformed hose. LG model LDT7808ST Also how to scroll to a specific code. Drain 04 to get rid of water.
Would you know the button combination for test mode on a LDS5540ST? There is no “Start” button on the panel. I’m getting an HE error at the end of the wash. Heater element is new so try to figure out what else to check
Great video to get me started with troubleshooting. OE error code, not draining properly. I have checked the drain line, it is free and clear (back-blowed with air). Tub filter is removed. No air gap device installed. Ran my fingers in the drain basin but didn't feel any debri. When running through test mode, the drain motor runs, but no water drains (it hisses air lightly instead) Advice?? TIA 👍
@@PartsDr It wouldn't start. Looked at other tutorials which did not help. We pressed power and start and then it ran through the dignostics and when it was finished...the dishwasher started and was fine. YAY
My dishwasher still washes great but the drive motor makes noise while it’s running. It has a 10 year warranty. The service tech told me that it might continue to run for a year or more versus buying a new dishwasher or replacing the motor. I’d like to get your opinion on that. Great channel I subscribed.
Hi Rick, if the circulcation pump motor is noisy while running it is usually a sign that it is failing. In some cases a noisy pump can start to leak, so it is something to keep a close eye on. If it is under warranty, you should see if they will replace it for you.
I can’t open the door to my lg dishwasher; It’s stuck or a lock is on. I called Lg and was told to cut the power to the dishwasher off so that it could reset itself but that didn’t work. They referred the job to a contractor in my area but they don’t work on warranty products, idk. Please help. Thanks
I set my model LDF8874ST LG dishwasher to a quick wash mode and I ran a couple of errands. When I got home, the AE code was flashing, there was a little water in the floor and I tried to power off, and the power went off and then came back on and continued to flash. When I opened the door, I could hear the drain pump. I tried again several times to turn the power off, and it kept coming back on, pump running, so I unplugged it under the sink. I have watched your video (and a couple more) and it looks like it could be one of several problems, from the fan assembly to the door gasket, to the spray arm. None are obvious under inspection, so I suppose either 1. I'll have to tackle the job (I am 70 yrs old and my husband is not well). Or call an appliance repair. The ladder not being optimal. We also have an LG refrigerator that had to be serviced and finding someone to service LG was very difficult in my area. Finally, one came from many miles away, charged me almost $1000 and broke a freezer drawer glide and didn't bother telling me. I found it some time later, and it's been impossible to get the part. I also have an LG range. I will not buy LG again, even though I loved the dishwasher when it was working. Very frustrating.
I just had the exact same issue and can’t get it fixed. I got the dishwasher brand new and it’s never worked for me. I’ve had so many issues with it from the beginning.
What is the code to skip to the last 5 minutes or end cycle? I saw an engineer do that in order to check if the dishwasher was completing the last cycle successfully. Also is there a way to only do test 7 for example, or do we have to go through all of them?
I think they faked the test mode on mine. It just says all good, while broken. PS after my machine seemed physically broken and i was about to open it again, i tried someone's suggestion. Now this seems unbelievable, but... Run Turbo Eco or (on mine) Turbo Express.. the machine started working with or without Extra dry.
I’ve got an LG LDT5678ST dishwasher. When I hit the power and start together nothing happens. I was wondering if I need to hit two other buttons to cycle through. Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. LG direct drive dishwasher
I have been having issues where the dishwasher won’t turn on. I have to kick the breaker for a couple min and then it will work. Then after a couple times got an LE code, reset then get an IE. now when I do the test mode I can’t get anything to work. I am assuming it’s a control board at this time. Any thoughts?
Hi, I just found your video and thought it was very well done. Maybe I missed something but how do I know which test is being run. I have the model you demonstrated on which fails mid cycle about 122minutes remaining with no error message, then it just switches off.
This video was great! I think my dishwasher is in a service test mode. The display is cycling through these 3 codes: n04 d32 U40 and all of the lights are solid (including the red, white and green lights on the front) but I can’t exit. Start and Cancel don’t work, the power button just double beeps and none of the other buttons work. Any idea how to exit or restart? The machine ran a full cycle yesterday, with no issues. Thanks! 😊
Sometimes we have seen a bad control panel cause these types of symptoms. Let us know what you find. We have a video on replacing that type of part here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-czeYpx62Dv0.html
My Kenmore made by Lg is shutting off with an HE code 36 minutes into a cycle.It is model # 722.14673710.I tried your lg dishwasher test mode and I cannot get past step 4.When I press start to move to step 5,it stays in step 4 and continues cycling test 4.The first 3 test move thru fine.However,the board does not show me 01,02,or any numbers corresponding to test mode levels.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Your other how to videos are easy to understand.Thank you for that.
Nice video! My daughter's dishwasher (LDFN4542S) required the Start, Power, and Auto. Her dishwasher has been beeping then powering down usually within a couple minutes but sometimes 15 min into cycle. The Smart Diagnosis comes back good and all the tests appear good with one oddity. The final test is supposed to test spray arms 1un, 1lo, and then 0lo. The 1st test it went straight to 1lo so I retried the test and then it went through all 3 . When I showed my daughter how to do it then it reverted back to testing only 1lo. Is this normal or does it indicate a problem?
As long as it is switching between the upper and lower spray arms then that test should be okay. It could be a bad control panel where it is pressing buttons on its own and causing it to stop running. Let us know what you find. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-czeYpx62Dv0.html
I'm getting an NE error code. I replaced the vario motor and a couple relays related to it, no help. I just tried running the vario motor test while the vario motor was hanging loose (I pulled it out to see if it was working during the year), and the vario motor was turning gradually during the test. I manually triggered the relay sitting next to the vario motor bracket and confirmed the test will advance to "lo.' Should there be a cam attached to the vario motor shaft ? I don't have one Bd wondering if that is why the ne code persists.
My dishwasher seems to pass all the tests with the exception of the vent door doesn’t look like it opens, but the fan is running. Is this possibly the control panel? The device stops and beeps and won’t complete a cycle that’s what brought me to checking the dishwasher.
@@PartsDr thanks for the quick reply. I purchased a replacement fan/vent assembly from your website and replaced it. Same issue. So must be the control board or the wires like you said. Guess purchasing a new control board would be the next step.
I have this same model. But when I get to test 7 it only displays "LO" not 1un or 1lo nor.dpes it display an error code even though the pressure is weak in the lower arm and the arm does not spin or push water up to the top sprayer. Any thoughts?
Thank you for an awesome video. When I get to test 7 I get a C56 and 1 LO code. Never gets the upper arm code. I confirmed the vario valve and microswitch are good. Would you suspect the controller board?
Usually you have to narrow down the problem like you are doing by process of elimination. You could also check the wiring between the parts and the control board.
Hi there, I have LG dishwasher model LDP6797ST. All of sudden it stopped working. It has power but does not show on the touch pad buttons and not working. Can anyone help.
Great useful video! I'm a maintenance tech jack-of-all-trades and running into all kinds of different appliances brand issues. Currently the LG at my home powered down, I vacuum the water out of the sump and power was restored what could be the cause? I'm thinking potential restricted drain?
Thanks for the information. This is very helpful. My dishwasher doesnot clean upper rack. The nozzle and spray arm looks ok. In my case, test #7 4:06, there was no error code . It show 1 UN and 1Lo but there was no water sprayed from upper or lower arm during test mode. Is it normal in test mode ?. What could be the issue ?
Hi I have a LG dishwasher and it keeps popping up error code BE and I checked the leveling and also ran milk just like it said to and then had a plumber look at the leveling part and he said its leveled. Idk what else to do?. I turned on and off main breaker to dishwasher and still error code BE again. Idk what else to do. Please help.
Thanks for this video. We have an lds5540st that is not turning on at all.Because of cover issues, I'd like to try to diagnose and fix myself. Have heard could be door latch or controller or thermal fuse or....? But it is unclear to me how to locate and diagnose these parts and issues. Thanks for any help!
Mine overflowed with soap cause I put dish soap in it and now it has a red blinking light in the front and has a blinking error code AE how do I fix that? I already tried reseting it and even if I turn it off it turns back on beeping do you know why this would be?
I have Model#LDF5545BD. I Tried the 1st test mode on the detergent latch, didn't work and I couldn't even get to 2nd test mode. I think this model has issues with the det. latch, door latch. When I called LG there was a recall on the control panel?? LG said to send a tech out there is a $125 trip and Diagnostic fee!! I was just hoping I could get through the test modes 1st before spending $ on this New Appliance!! Any suggestions?
For the LE error code, this is what LG says to check: 1) Wiring connection is OK? (Washing Motor and Controller). Check and reconnect the wire. 2) The Impeller of Washing Pump is locked. Replace the Pump Casing assembly. 3) Is the Washing Motor is OK? Check the electric resistance of Washing Motor. 4) The Controller is troubled. Replace the Controller.
I just replaced the main board. HV Connections cooked. Seemed to work. Then stopped to click, after I left. It just clicks doesn’t seem to advance or anything I’m gonna go back and see why tomorrow. If anyone has any ideas 🙂 I’ll be happy to hear them
Not sure if anyone can help but if so I have an lg and when I press the power button I get an L2 and can’t do anything else I’m not sure what to do if anything can help I would appreciate it.
This video has helped me immensely in troubleshooting my dishwasher. I have an LG LDF5678BD. The washer motor is very loud and I plan to replace this. The other message I see is when I run the Vario test I see the 1 LO followed by a C93. The display will flash alternately between 1 LO and C93. Any thoughts on this?
We had the LE code pop up when we tried starting a load of dishes. I ran through this test and when I got to test 5 for the water inlet it struggled for a bit and then threw the LE code at me again and ended the test. Would this confirm that the LE code is being thrown because of the water inlet? Like is it safe to assume that’s the case so I can narrow down which part to replace?
@@PartsDr okay thank you. Hopefully I won’t fix the circulation pump motor and still have the inlet valve to worry about. Inlet valve seemed doable for me but not the pump motor. Might end up calling LG to come fix it but they charge flat rate $299 😭
My LG dishwasher LDF 7561ST has a start delay feature but it doesn’t allow a delay selection more than 19h. The user manual says the delay can be set up to 24h. I have turned off the braker for 10 sec, twice, but, whatever the programme chosen, the delay limit is still 19h, with a incrementation of 1h at each push. There are no error code. What could be wrong?
Hi. My dishwasher is LD-12BW8. It shows error 0E but drains the water out and it seems to be continuously trying to drain. Hose is not clogged and I don't see any debris in the pump area. Can anyone please advise ? Thanks.
Nice info Quick question I tried to put my lg dishwasher same model in diagnostic mode and it shut off rt after the wash motor test won’t go to 1lo .. also dishwasher shuts off 25 mins into the cycle
Have the exact dishwasher, tried several times to get it into test mode....GOT NOTHIING! Tried unplugging and rebooting and test to run a test, and got nothing! Had 0E code drain issue over and over, cleared lines and filters NOTE: Dishwasher is brand new!! ... Faulty Circuit board?
I tried all of these tips and the only thing I noticed was that the 1 un did not appear, it went straight to the Lo. When I first start my washer it will run for a couple of minutes and then the entire display starts flashing and it shuts down.
I have an LG Dishwasher model # LDF7774ST. Recently it has started to start running by itself when the door is closed. Can you let me know what is wrong and what needs to be replaced? Thank you!
In the video you refer to test 6 as "wash motor", but I don't see a part specifically called this on your parts page. Is this the same as the "circulation pump"? My washer is throwing code LE.
So what does it mean if it randomly turns on, then off, then on again, then off, then on...... the off and on really fast. Then off again....and repeats about five minutes later...and throughout the night, making you go downstairs and pop the fuse.
I have a suction noise from the circulation pump wich does not have enough water in the tub. Anyway to fix this? I have the same model. my water valve is open all the way under my sink. Thanks
Possibly a bad water inlet valve not letting enough water in or a bad water inlet guide that is not measuring properly how much water is entering the dishwasher.
Thank you, it's still under one year waranty and does it since day one. I will have it check. Problem is probably what you say, because if I manualy add water during washing cycle the noise stops. Everything else tests fine.
I have the ldf5545ss model. I have changed the noise filter thrice already. On each change, the dishwasher starts working and goes off midway. and the Noise filter goes bad too. What coulkd be the cause? I have used other appliances on the power socket and they work fine.
We have a LDF5545ss that’s giving the ie code. I have a water inlet valve order but I can see the water inside the water inlet guide when it’s filling and the bowl fills then a 30 seconds later it flashes the ie code. Any thoughts?
Most commonly a bad water inlet valve or a bad water inlet guide. Also, make sure to check the water supply to the dishwasher to make sure you have adequate water flow. We have a video on testing the water inlet valve here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vrDSl24vwao.html
My same exact dishwasher is blinking during cycle and will stop mid cycle. I'm seeing other people are having the same issues. Any suggestions to fix this issue?
My door won’t even open. When I go to start it, it shows 4, 3, 2, 1, then nothing. I can’t get any cycle to start, nor will any of these test functions start. The door is completely stuck shut so I can’t even unscrew the top brackets to pull the washer out. Please help!!!
A couple of people have mentioned the door being stuck on our door latch video. Check out the comments on this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q5aCvWzOb50.html
