1 minute to reset

Before you start

  • Unplug it before you touch anything inside.

What to do

  1. Reset at the breaker

    Press Power to switch off. Turn the dishwasher's circuit breaker off, wait 10 seconds and turn it back on, then switch on and start a new cycle.

When to call an engineer

If it comes back after the reset, LG says the dishwasher needs a repair.

A repair visit will usually check the motor, its speed sensor and the electronics that drive it.

Before you book
  • Note the model and serial number. They're on a label on the edge of the door or the side of the tub.
  • Write down the exact code, and what the appliance was doing when it appeared.
  • Check whether it's still under warranty. If it is, the repair may cost you nothing.
