We responded to a service call in Akron for an LG dishwasher displaying code “HE” with a bad heating element. After ordering the replacement part, we installed the new heater assembly and restored normal operation.
The Problem
The customer reported their LG dishwasher was showing code “HE” and had a bad heating element. This error code indicates the dishwasher’s heating system wasn’t functioning properly.
Diagnosis
Our technician confirmed the heating element had failed, triggering the HE error code on this LDF7774ST model.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: AEG72950001 — heater assembly
- Work performed: Installed element
- Result: Operation is normal, issue resolved
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG dishwashers are generally well-built appliances, and heating element failures are common repair issues that are cost-effective to fix. The LDF7774ST is from LG’s mid-range line and typically has good longevity when properly maintained, making this repair a sound investment.
