Dishwasher detergent

LG bE and AE point to the wrong detergent. What LG says to use and not use.

Updated

What it is

LG says oversudsing (bE) comes from dish soap or too much detergent, and lists oversudsing from dishwashing liquid among the causes of AE.

How to choose

  • LG: use a small amount of liquid dishwasher detergent, or preferably powder or solid detergent made for dishwashers. Never dish soap.

How it is tested

  • LG says to run the dishwasher empty with no detergent; if suds and bE appear, the cause is improper detergent.
Safety firstNever use hand dish soap in a dishwasher.

Capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. Safety terms.
