LG Dishwasher Repair – Akron, OH (LDF7774ST)

We responded to a service call in Akron for an LG dishwasher giving off a tE error. The customer had researched the problem online and suspected a thermistor issue, but our diagnosis revealed more extensive damage than expected.

The Problem

The LG dishwasher was displaying a tE error code. The customer had done some research and assumed there was an issue with the thermistor based on what they found online.

Diagnosis

We installed a new element and thermistor and tested the unit. During our inspection, we discovered that mice had chewed a hole in the hose above the heating assembly. This represented more extensive mouse damage throughout the dishwasher.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: AEG72950001 — Heater Assembly
• Work performed: Installed new element and thermistor
• Result: Customer decided to replace the unit due to extensive mouse damage

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG dishwashers are generally reliable appliances, but when rodent damage is involved, replacement often makes more financial sense. Mice can cause damage throughout the unit’s wiring and components that may not be immediately apparent, leading to ongoing repair needs.

Maintenance Tips for LG Dishwashers

• Check around and under the unit periodically for signs of rodent activity, especially in basement installations
• Keep the area around your dishwasher clean and sealed to prevent pest entry
• Run the dishwasher regularly even when not full to keep seals and components in good working condition
