LG Dishwasher Error Codes

LG has a smaller but very usable first-release code family. This page should stay concise, practical, and easy to scan before a visitor jumps into a deeper error guide.

Second strongest launch category Compact code family

Top LG code groups to launch first

Code	Usually points to	Urgency	What to check first
AE	Leak path or base sensor alert	High	Look for visible leakage, foam overflow, or a unit that is not sitting level.
NE	Wash motor or circulation issue	Medium	Check whether the spray action seems weak or the cycle stalls near the end.
LE	Motor load or circulation resistance issue	Medium	Look for obstructed spray arms or resistance in the wash chamber first.
HE	Heating issue	Medium	Note whether the cycle finishes cold or leaves dishes unusually wet.
CL	Control state or lock-style alert	Low	Confirm whether it is a control state rather than a real service fault.
OE	Drain-out issue	Medium	Inspect the drain hose, filter, and disposal connection before anything deeper.

What makes the LG section different

AE deserves depth Leak-oriented codes should move into a standalone guide sooner than lighter control states.

NE vs LE separation These two need symptom-level differentiation so users do not bounce between near-duplicates.

Short answers stay short CL should stay compact rather than becoming a long low-value article.

Recommended page order

1. AE page first. Strong leak intent and a clear support threshold.
2. NE and LE next. Both benefit from more detailed troubleshooting separation.
3. OE after that. Useful, but still less distinctive than AE for the initial batch.
