Had a motor code error. After taking a number of parts off, found a piece of the check valve had locked up the water pump
When I found the problem to be the check valve I reinstalled the drive motor and water pump, ordered the part I needed,Installed the new check valve, installed the rest of the parts and did a test run which corrected the problem.

I heard a "hissing" sound down at the base plate area.
I got on line and 'chatted' with an online person. After describing the problem, she told me it had to be the water entry pump. I ordered it and put it in. VERY EASY. Then, it still didn't want to work right. It would start & stop and never get a full cycle. So I got online and looked at the diagrams provided, and decided to take off the "Filter Assembly Mesh". After already replacing the water entry pump, I took off the Filter Asssembly Mesh part (by undoing 8 screws), & found that the pump gasket was somewhat coming apart. Upon waiting for receipt of these two items, I realized that I thought it wasn't getting hot either. Once again, I looked at the provided online diagrams and ordered the heater assembly. After placing the dishwasher on its front again, I traced the connecting wires, marked them for later replacement & removed those & removed the ground wire and pulled out the old heater. Voila', its was rusted in two places. Ordered the heater. Upon receipt, I placed a small amount of Vaseline around the heater gasket prior to inserting fully. Reversed the process, assured myself everything was in and properly seated and tightened. Put the machine back in and it works great!

Door would fall to floor
Very easy just took out two screws that held the dishwasher to counter top.Then pulled dishwasher out just far enough that both door cables are exposed.The hardest part for me was getting the spring stretched enough to clip on.This was a easy installation for most people.

Front door would fall open without resistance.
The repair took right at one hour. Repair length of time will depend on what all you have to disconnect to get your dish washer out so you can remove both side panels where you will be able to access the door springs, etc. There is a door spring on each side and I recommend replacing both connectors cords while you have the dishwasher out. Mine were both broken. One thing I noticed when doing my repair was that the bracket that is on the bottom of the door was not aligned properly to the small pulley that the connector cords travels under. If yours is out of alignment you will be able to tell once you get the connector cord installed. I used heavy pliers to bend the bracket slightly inward so the connector cords rides in the center of the pulley and not off to the outside as before. This may be why mine broke in the first place. After part replacement, reinstall the door panels and put the washer back in service. There are also YouTube's of this repair so you can see what you are getting into. Basic repair.

Dishwasher would stop during the cycle with nE code
This was my first time repairing a dishwasher. I watched YouTube on how to remove the dishwasher from the cabinet. Afterwards, I removed the bottom of the dishwasher while it was laying flat to get to the motor and micro switch. The only difficulty I had was getting to the motor which required taking the bottom section off of the dishwasher. I could not get an appliance repair company to work on an LG dishwasher. My only option was to repair the dishwasher or bought a new dishwasher. Therefore, my wife and I decided to , make an attempt to repair this one with a backup plan of buying a new one. Luckily, we were able to fix this one within two hours.
This was a $999 dishwasher. We saved the cost of a new dishwasher by taking the time to fix this one.

There was a leak in the bottom left corner.
I am 77 years old and got it all on but the corners did not want to go in so I had to call my grandson and he got them in. It still leaked on the bottom left side. It is getting old (11 yrs) so I decided to get a new one. It is actually pretty simple to install, but it does take a little strength.

Dishwasher leaks from door region during washing cycle.
Old door seal appeared ok, no rips and seated evenly all around. Pulled that seal out and replaced with new. Seated new door seal after wetting inserted lip. Tested...leak greatly reduced, but still dripping. Removed seal, placed a rubber rope (same rope used for screening) within the tub recess, then reseated new seal. leak ceased. Also replaced the reservoirs on the left side of the cabinet (guide assembly). Old reservoir had debris within so decided to replace. Used regular pliers for the 3 hose spring clamps underneath, and a pair of large neede nose pliers for the fill flange (regular thread).

Door wouldn't close/lock wouldn't engage
Very easy repair. First remove all the screws from the inside of the door, making sure you support the outside part of the door with a pot under it on the floor. Pull the locker part out, remove wire connection with needlenose pliers, and install replacement part. Put door back together, and you're done.

Install door clip and wrap cord around pulley , attach to spring then attach spring to door, lifting the door will help attach the spring. Do one side of the door at a time.

Hinge Cables Broke (Both), AGAIN!!
Cables have broken about every 3-6 months after original ones broke after 8 years. Removed front kick plate screws and remove kick plate, and remove two top screws holding Dishwasher to counter-top. Pull dishwasher out about 10 inches. Remove all broken parts and replace cables. Side dishwasher back in place and reinstall removed screws. I just hope these Cables last longer than the ones I had bought from another source. I have replaced those Cables 5 times already and hope these last MUCH longer. Delivery was very fast from PartSelect.
