LG Dishwasher Repair – LEETONIA, OH (LDFN3432T)

We responded to a service call in Leetonia for an LG dishwasher that was tripping the breaker shortly after the cycle started. The customer had already installed a GFCI outlet after noticing the original outlet appeared burned, but the unit was still tripping after about one minute of operation.

The Problem

The dishwasher would trip the breaker shortly after the cycle started. The original outlet under the sink appeared burned, so a GFCI outlet was installed, but the unit still tripped after approximately one minute.

Diagnosis

The unit has a cord power supply with GFCI installed that was tripping when the unit tried to wash. Testing revealed the wash pump and other main components were not grounded properly. The GFCI cord itself was the source of the problem.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: Power cord (non-GFCI replacement)
• Work performed: Replaced power cord with non-GFCI version
• Result: Unit washes and drains properly without tripping breaker

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG dishwashers are generally reliable appliances, and this LDFN3432T model represents good value for homeowners. A power cord replacement is a relatively minor repair that can extend the life of the unit significantly, making it a worthwhile investment compared to replacement costs.

Maintenance Tips for LG Dishwashers

• Clean the bottom dish rack and spray arms monthly to prevent food particle buildup that can affect drainage
• Run an empty cycle with dishwasher cleaner every 3-4 months to remove mineral deposits and grease buildup
• Check and clean the door seals regularly to prevent water leaks and maintain proper sealing
