LG DishwasherLG Repair – Akron, OH (LDF8574ST)

A customer in Akron called us about their LG dishwasher showing an OE error light after just a few minutes of operation. They had already cleaned the filter and hoses, but the problem persisted. Our diagnosis revealed a failed drain pump that needed replacement.

The Problem

When we turn it on to run, after a few minutes the OE light comes on. We have cleaned the filter and cleaned the hoses. Still coming on.

Diagnosis

The OE error code on LG dishwashers indicates a drainage issue. Since the customer had already cleaned the filter and hoses, we tested the drain pump motor assembly and found it was no longer functioning properly, preventing water from draining out of the tub.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: EAU62043401 — Motor Assembly (drain pump)
• Work performed: Replaced the drain pump
• Result: Issue is resolved and operation is normal

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG dishwashers are generally well-built appliances, and this model is worth repairing when components like the drain pump fail. Drain pump replacements typically extend the dishwasher’s life significantly, making it a cost-effective repair versus replacement for most households.

Maintenance Tips for LG Dishwashers

• Clean the bottom filter monthly by unscrewing it and rinsing under hot water
• Run a cleaning cycle with LG dishwasher cleaner every 30 wash cycles
• Check and clean the spray arm holes periodically to prevent clogs that can stress the drain pump
