A Canton homeowner called about their LG dishwasher not draining properly. When we arrived at the Swepstone Street Northwest address, we discovered the issue wasn’t with the dishwasher itself but with how it had been installed.
The Problem
The customer reported their dishwasher was not draining properly. Water was remaining in the bottom of the tub after cycles completed, leaving dishes sitting in dirty water.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found that installers had kinked the drain hose. This created a blockage that prevented proper water drainage from the dishwasher during the drain cycle.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Cleared the kink in the drain hose
- Result: Reassembled and tested dishwasher — drainage restored to normal operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG makes reliable dishwashers, and the LDF5678ST is a solid mid-range model. When the issue is simply an installation error like a kinked drain hose, it’s definitely worth fixing rather than replacing the entire unit.
Maintenance Tips for LG Dishwashers
- Check that the drain hose remains properly positioned and isn’t compressed by cabinetry or other appliances
- Run LG’s TrueSteam cleaning cycle monthly to prevent mineral buildup in the wash system
- Clean the LG QuadWash spray arms regularly by removing and rinsing them under hot water
