LG most common dishwasher Error / fault / failure / fehler codes.

Problems with your LG dishwasher are usually equally simple to diagnose. Examine the readout on your appliance, then consult the list of LG dishwasher error codes below.

Again, there are a few that you might be able to resolve yourself. Your first step should always be to check and clean the filters. But after that, you may need some expert assistance.

One special LG dishwasher fault code to watch out for though is “CD”. That’s not actually an error. These letters tell you the machine is running a “Cool and Dry” cycle after a Quick cycle. Everything is fine – nothing to see here! For everything else, here’s the list of codes:

Error IE – Water Inlet error. Indicates a problem with the water supply.
Error OE – Blocked pump.
Error EI – Leak detected.
Error FE – Overflow Error. Water valve error.
Error tE – Heating Error. Temperature sensor / Thermistor fault.
Error LE – Motor fault.
Error HE – Heater error.
Error CE – Current Error. Overload in the motor.
Error Cr – Continuous run. The dishwasher is running in test mode. Turn the dishwasher OFF and ON again.
Error AE / E1 – Possible leak.
CD – Not an error. This code means Cool and Dry and it is an additional cycle following a Quick cycle.

Your appliance doesn’t need to be old to show any of these error codes, mind you. In fact, you might get a code after plumbing in the dishwasher. For example, one about a detected leak, meaning you didn’t connect the dishwasher to the water supply properly.
