Safety firstSwitch the dishwasher off at its breaker before you reach into the base or remove a filter or cover, and let the tub and water cool after a cycle. Watch for sharp debris. Pump, heater, valve and control-board repairs belong to a qualified appliance technician.
Capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. Safety terms.
When to call a pro
LG says an LE error requires inspection from a service technician. Not the same as nE, which LG uses when the impeller does not spin or dishes touch it; nE has a rearrange-and-restart step first. Not the same as LG washer LE either, which is a washer motor error (the tub failed to spin) with its own steps.
