Awesome, will give this a shot. Have this same model and it just recently started shutting off randomly after a few minutes of starting a cycle. No error codes, it'll just power down, then power back up. The other day, all of the lights on the display turned on at once. Not sure what any of it means. It's only about 1.5 years old and for the prices, it's pretty ridiculous that we're already having issues with it.
@@Virsavia77 No, haven't had a chance to go through these steps. Was going to give the "smart diagnosis " a try sometime next week.

Thanks for the information. This is very helpful. My dishwasher doesnot clean upper rack. The nozzle and spray arm looks ok. In my case, test #7 4:06, there was no error code .

I set my model LDF8874ST LG dishwasher to a quick wash mode and I ran a couple of errands. When I got home, the AE code was flashing, there was a little water in the floor and I tried to power off, and the power went off and then came back on and continued to flash. When I opened the door, I could hear the drain pump. I tried again several times to turn the power off, and it kept coming back on, pump running, so I unplugged it under the sink. I have watched your video (and a couple more) and it looks like it could be one of several problems, from the fan assembly to the door gasket, to the spray arm. None are obvious under inspection, so I suppose either 1. I'll have to tackle the job (I am 70 yrs old and my husband is not well). Or call an appliance repair. The ladder not being optimal. We also have an LG refrigerator that had to be serviced and finding someone to service LG was very difficult in my area. Finally, one came from many miles away, charged me almost $1000 and broke a freezer drawer glide and didn't bother telling me. I found it some time later, and it's been impossible to get the part. I also have an LG range. I will not buy LG again, even though I loved the dishwasher when it was working. Very frustrating.
I just had the exact same issue and can’t get it fixed. I got the dishwasher brand new and it’s never worked for me. I’ve had so many issues with it from the beginning.
My dishwasher still washes great but the drive motor makes noise while it’s running. It has a 10 year warranty. The service tech told me that it might continue to run for a year or more versus buying a new dishwasher or replacing the motor. I’d like to get your opinion on that. Great channel I subscribed.
Hi Rick, if the circulcation pump motor is noisy while running it is usually a sign that it is failing. In some cases a noisy pump can start to leak, so it is something to keep a close eye on. If it is under warranty, you should see if they will replace it for you.

Hi my dishwasher has been making a loud motor noise and test #6 identified it in fact the motor. I have an LG dishwasher LDP6810SS. Would you happen to know which part on your website is the part to replace if the motor is the issue causing the loud noise on my dishwasher? Thank you!
Thank you for an awesome video. When I get to test 7 I get a C56 and 1 LO code. Never gets the upper arm code. I confirmed the vario valve and microswitch are good. Would you suspect the controller board?
Usually you have to narrow down the problem like you are doing by process of elimination. You could also check the wiring between the parts and the control board.
I can’t open the door to my lg dishwasher; It’s stuck or a lock is on. I called Lg and was told to cut the power to the dishwasher off so that it could reset itself but that didn’t work. They referred the job to a contractor in my area but they don’t work on warranty products, idk. Please help. Thanks
Hi I have a LG dishwasher and it keeps popping up error code BE and I checked the leveling and also ran milk just like it said to and then had a plumber look at the leveling part and he said its leveled. Idk what else to do?. I turned on and off main breaker to dishwasher and still error code BE again. Idk what else to do. Please help.
In the video you refer to test 6 as "wash motor", but I don't see a part specifically called this on your parts page. Is this the same as the "circulation pump"? My washer is throwing code LE.
I have Model#LDF5545BD. I Tried the 1st test mode on the detergent latch, didn't work and I couldn't even get to 2nd test mode. I think this model has issues with the det. latch, door latch.

I was just hoping I could get through the test modes 1st before spending $ on this New Appliance!! Any suggestions?
Thanks for this video. We have an lds5540st that is not turning on at all.Because of cover issues, I'd like to try to diagnose and fix myself.

The display is cycling through these 3 codes: n04 d32 U40 and all of the lights are solid (including the red, white and green lights on the front) but I can’t exit. Start and Cancel don’t work, the power button just double beeps and none of the other buttons work. Any idea how to exit or restart? The machine ran a full cycle yesterday, with no issues. Thanks! 😊

My LG dishwasher LDF 7561ST has a start delay feature but it doesn’t allow a delay selection more than 19h. The user manual says the delay can be set up to 24h. I have turned off the braker for 10 sec, twice, but, whatever the programme chosen, the delay limit is still 19h, with a incrementation of 1h at each push. There are no error code. What could be wrong?
Hi there, I have LG dishwasher model LDP6797ST. All of sudden it stopped working. It has power but does not show on the touch pad buttons and not working. Can anyone help.
I have the ldf5545ss model. I have changed the noise filter thrice already. On each change, the dishwasher starts working and goes off midway. and the Noise filter goes bad too. What coulkd be the cause? I have used other appliances on the power socket and they work fine.
Nice info Quick question I tried to put my lg dishwasher same model in diagnostic mode and it shut off rt after the wash motor test won’t go to 1lo .. also dishwasher shuts off 25 mins into the cycle
We had the LE code pop up when we tried starting a load of dishes. I ran through this test and when I got to test 5 for the water inlet it struggled for a bit and then threw the LE code at me again and ended the test. Would this confirm that the LE code is being thrown because of the water inlet? Like is it safe to assume that’s the case so I can narrow down which part to replace?
@@PartsDr okay thank you. Hopefully I won’t fix the circulation pump motor and still have the inlet valve to worry about. Inlet valve seemed doable for me but not the pump motor. Might end up calling LG to come fix it but they charge flat rate $299 😭
For the LE error code, this is what LG says to check: 1) Wiring connection is OK? (Washing Motor and Controller). Check and reconnect the wire. 2) The Impeller of Washing Pump is locked. Replace the Pump Casing assembly. 3) Is the Washing Motor is OK? Check the electric resistance of Washing Motor. 4) The Controller is troubled. Replace the Controller.
We have a LDF5545ss that’s giving the ie code. I have a water inlet valve order but I can see the water inside the water inlet guide when it’s filling and the bowl fills then a 30 seconds later it flashes the ie code. Any thoughts?
Most commonly a bad water inlet valve or a bad water inlet guide. Also, make sure to check the water supply to the dishwasher to make sure you have adequate water flow. We have a video on testing the water inlet valve here: ruclips.net/video/vrDSl24vwao/видео.html
I have an LG Dishwasher model # LDF7774ST. Recently it has started to start running by itself when the door is closed. Can you let me know what is wrong and what needs to be replaced? Thank you!
Can you help me out? When I run test #6 I get an awful grinding/bad bearing sound. I just replaced the the motor pump. So that didn't fix it. Is it the diverter motor that's making the noise? Wish i saw this video sooner... thanks for your help.
When I pulled the old motor pump it smelled (burnt electrical). This noise has been going on for a couple weeks and thought that was the fix. No longer have the LE code but the grinding/ rubbing noise.
I have a suction noise from the circulation pump wich does not have enough water in the tub. Anyway to fix this? I have the same model. my water valve is open all the way under my sink. Thanks
Possibly a bad water inlet valve not letting enough water in or a bad water inlet guide that is not measuring properly how much water is entering the dishwasher.
Thank you, it's still under one year waranty and does it since day one. I will have it check. Problem is probably what you say, because if I manualy add water during washing cycle the noise stops. Everything else tests fine.
Not sure if anyone can help but if so I have an lg and when I press the power button I get an L2 and can’t do anything else I’m not sure what to do if anything can help I would appreciate it.
My same exact dishwasher is blinking during cycle and will stop mid cycle. I'm seeing other people are having the same issues. Any suggestions to fix this issue?
I have an almost 5-1/2 years old model LDP6797ST. While in the off position it suddenly started beeping, machine was empty, not in use, AE error code, and I could hear the pump motor trying to drain. It did this five times before I unplugged it. AE error code indicates Automatic Emergency leak detection. I did some research, figuring Id start with the simplest checks first. (Im a 75 yr old woman on a fixed income.) First check was to pull out the unit completely. I located the float, and jiggled it a bit, checking the pan for water. There was a bit in it, but not enough to cause an overflow on the floor. Plugged it back in, AE error code still there. Then checked the hoses for kinks or leaks at connection points. No leaks, no kinks. Plugged it back in, still seeing AE error. Arghhh! Unplugged it for 24 hrs and went to bed. Next day, I tipped the entire machine forward about 45-60 degrees (read that somewhere), a bunch of water came out onto the floor. (Shoulda used a floor towel.) After cleaning up the floor, I plugged in the unit, and the error code was gone. I powered on the the washer as usual. It worked. Well that got rid of the error code. What I don't know is what caused the problem or if it will happen again. Its working again, for now.
To me, that sounds like a seal leaking or something else & water finally built up to level that sparked the code. I wonder if it'll get to that point again & you'll have to tip it forward again.
My dishwasher seems to pass all the tests with the exception of the vent door doesn’t look like it opens, but the fan is running. Is this possibly the control panel? The device stops and beeps and won’t complete a cycle that’s what brought me to checking the dishwasher.
@@PartsDr thanks for the quick reply. I purchased a replacement fan/vent assembly from your website and replaced it. Same issue. So must be the control board or the wires like you said. Guess purchasing a new control board would be the next step.
Hi. My dishwasher is LD-12BW8. It shows error 0E but drains the water out and it seems to be continuously trying to drain. Hose is not clogged and I don't see any debris in the pump area. Can anyone please advise ? Thanks.
My dishwasher seemed to “pass” this diagnostic. However, once a cycle is started, it will run for about 10 minutes before beeping a couple of times and shutting off. Every time there is a considerable amount of water in the bottom of the bowl. Could this be a bad control panel? No error codes present.
This video has helped me immensely in troubleshooting my dishwasher. I have an LG LDF5678BD. The washer motor is very loud and I plan to replace this. The other message I see is when I run the Vario test I see the 1 LO followed by a C93. The display will flash alternately between 1 LO and C93. Any thoughts on this?
@@PartsDr ok, thanks anyway - was curious how to get it into the diag mode and then how to get through the tests because the buttons/screen aren't visible when the door is closed
I cant get my Ldp6797st Dishwasher to enter self test mode. Its not starting. Just the buttons on the left work, nothing on the right. Start dosent seem to do anything. Please help!
We recommend to test the heating elements resistance using an ohm meter. It should measure approximately 11.5 Ohms at room temperature. Make sure the power is disconnected from the dishwasher and the wires are removed from the element when testing.
My LDF5678ST keeps tripping breaker. Diagnosis comes out fine. Can’t run test mode. Where should I start the trouble shooting? I’m thinking main board?
Start by checking the electrical connections inside the electrical box where the power supply comes into the dishwasher. See this video here: ruclips.net/video/JBoXTLpLxwU/видео.html
@@PartsDr so I was able to run test and it doesn’t let it run third test. That is the drain pump right? Also disconnected pump power and still tripped breaker. Assuming main board?
Having same issue again. Last time I put a high loop and it worked. The dishwasher keeps tripping breaker on test 4. Swapped out drain motor and still tripping.
The control panel on my LG frequently flashes OFF then back ON quickly, and there is associated beeping noise. I’ve tested the power and it’s good, could this be a bad panel?
@Parts Dr, I engaged the test mode on my LDT5678ST because it has stopped sending water to the sprayers. Upon activating test mode, the display showed n04, d49, and U50. I then pressed Start. When the machine reached test number 7, the display showed C00 then 1LO with loud motor noise but no spraying either top or bottom. All other functions appear normal. Any ideas? Thanks very much!
When I engage my test mode, I get n04, d49, and U50 in the display. My test sequence differs slightly from the one you have listed. 1) Detergent door 2) Sump temp 3) Door vent blower motor 4) ?Soil sensor? Display shows "180" 5) Drain valve/motor : Good 6) Water inlet valve/motor: Good 7) Washer motor: Loud motor noise while spinning. No water to either upper or lower sprayer. I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!
It could be caused by a bad circulation pump. If the pump motor is receiving power but it isn't running, either the pump is bad or something is jammed inside of it causing it not to turn. This is the circulation pump for your model here: partsdr.com/part/abt72989206-pump-and-casing-assembly?model=LDT5678ST---00
@@PartsDr lds5811ww -- it wasn't filling, so I bought a new inlet valve (made sure it's AC, not DC) and now it just fills continuously once power has been connected.
@@CapesOfficial It sounds like the main control board that supplies power to the water inlet valve may be bad and constantly sending power to the water valve even when it is not calling for water.
@@PartsDr that's what I've been leaning towards. I wasn't sure if there was any sort of reset I could do or a diagnostics mode I could go into to try to narrow it down. If that's the case, it almost feels like a new dishwasher may be in order..
We just purchased a new LG dishwasher (11/14/20), and it stopped draining twice; we had to do a manuel drain. It's super quiet. Any ideas about what could be going wrong?
When the dishwasher isn't draining, try running it through test #4 in the video. This should help you narrow down if the drain pump is running or not and help you narrow down the problem.
I have a MEZ64589015 that always has the * flashing on the the front of the machine, I filled the reservoir and still it’s flashing and will not start, seems like it is stuck in standby. I’ve reset the breaker and pulled the plug and still it’s locked in standby mode, any thoughts? Also loved your video.
Mine does the same. Light flashes but it doesn't start or run. Only about a year old, not used very often. I wouldn't think it should be having issues already!

Is that for Smart-diagnostic mode or reset? Or maybe how your particular dishwasher enters diagnostic mode?
Great video to get me started with troubleshooting.
OE error code, not draining properly. I have checked the drain line, it is free and clear (back-blowed with air). Tub filter is removed. No air gap device installed. Ran my fingers in the drain basin but didn't feel any debri. When running through test mode, the drain motor runs, but no water drains (it hisses air lightly instead)
Advice?? TIA 👍
Have you checked the garbage disposal? ruclips.net/video/ws9tMUq4MY0/видео.html
I have some kinda door sensor that’s interrupting the cycle, causing it to beep until I push the door and press start again. If I don’t push door and press start it counts down from 4 and continues beeping. It’s been like this a year so it’s some stupid sensor it seems like that needs bypassed, cleaned, etc. any ideas that can help? Thanks!
Maybe the door latch is failing? ruclips.net/video/Q5aCvWzOb50/видео.html
My LG Dishwasher LDF7774ST does not have a start button, only a power button. Can you help me run a diagnostic with this model dishwasher please?
Hi Ryan. I keep getting an nE code when I run test #2. What is this trying to tell me?
is there a way to default the processor?
Great video! I’m getting a (- - -) code when I went to run a load. It will not take any commands. Any help would be appreciated.
I ran a regular wash and the time was stuck at 36 minutes. It would not wind down to 0 and end the cycle. What would cause that?
My Kenmore made by Lg is shutting off with an HE code 36 minutes into a cycle.It is model # 722.14673710.I tried your lg dishwasher test mode and I cannot get past step 4.When I press start to move to step 5,it stays in step 4 and continues cycling test 4.The first 3 test move thru fine.However,the board does not show me 01,02,or any numbers corresponding to test mode levels.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Your other how to videos are easy to understand.Thank you for that.
Hi my dishwasher has been making a loud motor noise and test #6 identified it in fact the motor. I have an LG dishwasher LDP6810SS. Would you happen to know which part on your website is the part to replace if the motor is the issue causing the loud noise on my dishwasher? Thank you!
It should be this circulation pump motor here: partsdr.com/part/agm30016301-pump-and-motor-assembly
Thank you for this valuable information, you sir just saved me lots of time and $$, narrowed down to the variable motor. THANK YOU!!!
Nice job!!! That is a lot cheaper than a new dishwasher!
@@PartsDr What's a variable motor?
@@susanwhite5638 It is small motor on the bottom of the dishwasher that diverts the water from the washer pump between the upper and lower wash arms.
Thank you for an awesome video. When I get to test 7 I get a C56 and 1 LO code. Never gets the upper arm code. I confirmed the vario valve and microswitch are good. Would you suspect the controller board?
Usually you have to narrow down the problem like you are doing by process of elimination. You could also check the wiring between the parts and the control board.
I am having this exact same message “C56”. Did you ever figure out what this was??
I can’t open the door to my lg dishwasher; It’s stuck or a lock is on. I called Lg and was told to cut the power to the dishwasher off so that it could reset itself but that didn’t work. They referred the job to a contractor in my area but they don’t work on warranty products, idk. Please help. Thanks
Great video! Thank you 😌
Thanks! 🙂
Well, given the new model's buttons are hidden in the upper lip of the closed dishwasher, do you have any more up to date advice?🙏🙏🙏
What's the model number of your dishwasher?
@PartsDr XD3A25BS
excellent tutorial
Thanks!
Hi I have a LG dishwasher and it keeps popping up error code BE and I checked the leveling and also ran milk just like it said to and then had a plumber look at the leveling part and he said its leveled. Idk what else to do?. I turned on and off main breaker to dishwasher and still error code BE again. Idk what else to do. Please help.
Same issue here! The dishwasher stops before drying things with that error. None of the milk nor the leveling fixed it... any idea???
In the video you refer to test 6 as "wash motor", but I don't see a part specifically called this on your parts page. Is this the same as the "circulation pump"? My washer is throwing code LE.
The "wash motor" is the same as the circulation pump.
Great video.
My dishwasher looks like the same model but will not enter test mode, any ideas?
Model number XD4B24PS.
It looks like this model is from Australia. Unfortunately, we do not have any service information on this model.
Power button and high temp at the same time
I have the exact same model. My washer just power's off any idea?
Got a LDF567 with a 9E code blinking, unknown what it is, seems the motor under keeps running though... any ideas, cant run diagnostics
I have Model#LDF5545BD. I Tried the 1st test mode on the detergent latch, didn't work and I couldn't even get to 2nd test mode. I think this model has issues with the det. latch, door latch. When I called LG there was a recall on the control panel?? LG said to send a tech out there is a $125 trip and Diagnostic fee!! I was just hoping I could get through the test modes 1st before spending $ on this New Appliance!! Any suggestions?
Thanks for this video. We have an lds5540st that is not turning on at all.Because of cover issues, I'd like to try to diagnose and fix myself. Have heard could be door latch or controller or thermal fuse or....? But it is unclear to me how to locate and diagnose these parts and issues. Thanks for any help!

Do you know how can I signature a program ?
Mine overflowed with soap cause I put dish soap in it and now it has a red blinking light in the front and has a blinking error code AE how do I fix that? I already tried reseting it and even if I turn it off it turns back on beeping do you know why this would be?
My LG dishwasher gives bE error code but no bubbles and unit is level. Any ideas?

@@shawnwieland7992 same here @survivalhub
Thank you for this video!
You're welcome!
This video was great! I think my dishwasher is in a service test mode. The display is cycling through these 3 codes: n04 d32 U40 and all of the lights are solid (including the red, white and green lights on the front) but I can’t exit. Start and Cancel don’t work, the power button just double beeps and none of the other buttons work. Any idea how to exit or restart? The machine ran a full cycle yesterday, with no issues. Thanks! 😊
Sometimes we have seen a bad control panel cause these types of symptoms. Let us know what you find. We have a video on replacing that type of part here: ruclips.net/video/czeYpx62Dv0/видео.html
What’s the AE error code can you run test during that time?
My LG dishwasher LDF 7561ST has a start delay feature but it doesn’t allow a delay selection more than 19h.
The user manual says the delay can be set up to 24h. I have turned off the braker for 10 sec, twice, but, whatever the programme chosen, the delay limit is still 19h, with a incrementation of 1h at each push. There are no error code.
What could be wrong?
Hi there, I have LG dishwasher model LDP6797ST. All of sudden it stopped working. It has power but does not show on the touch pad buttons and not working. Can anyone help.
Hi
This is very informative.
I have question thought, can we test rinse aid dispenser with service test mode?
I have the ldf5545ss model. I have changed the noise filter thrice already. On each change, the dishwasher starts working and goes off midway. and the Noise filter goes bad too. What coulkd be the cause? I have used other appliances on the power socket and they work fine.
It could be some component on the dishwasher that is bad and drawing high current causing the fuse on the noise filter to blow.
@@PartsDr such as which part?
@@jibonjo That is something that you or a technician would need to troubleshoot.
Nice info
Quick question I tried to put my lg dishwasher same model in diagnostic mode and it shut off rt after the wash motor test won’t go to 1lo .. also dishwasher shuts off 25 mins into the cycle
That could indicate that something in the vario valve system isn't working properly. It would be a good place to start your troubleshooting.
We had the LE code pop up when we tried starting a load of dishes. I ran through this test and when I got to test 5 for the water inlet it struggled for a bit and then threw the LE code at me again and ended the test. Would this confirm that the LE code is being thrown because of the water inlet? Like is it safe to assume that’s the case so I can narrow down which part to replace?
The LE error code is a motor error. This is usually a problem with the circulation pump motor.
@@PartsDr okay thank you. Hopefully I won’t fix the circulation pump motor and still have the inlet valve to worry about. Inlet valve seemed doable for me but not the pump motor. Might end up calling LG to come fix it but they charge flat rate $299 😭
do you know how to put LG LDF9932ST into test mode
Fails test #7
Does this imply pulling the unit out or can the motor be checked for an obstruction in place?
Flagging an LE code
For the LE error code, this is what LG says to check:
1) Wiring connection is OK? (Washing Motor and Controller). Check and reconnect the wire.
2) The Impeller of Washing Pump is locked. Replace the Pump Casing assembly.
3) Is the Washing Motor is OK? Check the electric resistance of Washing Motor.
4) The Controller is troubled. Replace the Controller.
Did this and the soap dispenser did not open. How do i fix it?
We have a LDF5545ss that’s giving the ie code. I have a water inlet valve order but I can see the water inside the water inlet guide when it’s filling and the bowl fills then a 30 seconds later it flashes the ie code. Any thoughts?
Most commonly a bad water inlet valve or a bad water inlet guide. Also, make sure to check the water supply to the dishwasher to make sure you have adequate water flow. We have a video on testing the water inlet valve here: ruclips.net/video/vrDSl24vwao/видео.html
For the LDFN454 model i had to hold START, then AUTO, then POWER to go into test mode.
Thanks for sharing!
I have model ldt7808st on the final test the mode goes from 1 lo to c 56 happen to know what this means?
I'm sorry we do not. If you find out please let us know.
Cody - did you figure this out a couple years ago??
@@PartsDr do you have any updates on this particular problem during test mode??
after entering the test mode all the light are illumined but nothing happens when pressing the start button Model # LDF5545ST
Need information about the CL code
I have an LG Dishwasher model # LDF7774ST. Recently it has started to start running by itself when the door is closed. Can you let me know what is wrong and what needs to be replaced?
Thank you!

Thank you so much! Just ordered the part.@@PartsDr
Can you help me out? When I run test #6 I get an awful grinding/bad bearing sound. I just replaced the the motor pump. So that didn't fix it. Is it the diverter motor that's making the noise? Wish i saw this video sooner... thanks for your help.
It also threw an LE code. Which was motor failure
What is the model number of the dishwasher and which part number did you replace?

PUMP CASING ASSY
When I pulled the old motor pump it smelled (burnt electrical). This noise has been going on for a couple weeks and thought that was the fix. No longer have the LE code but the grinding/ rubbing noise.
@@nsext3330 What was the problem with the original pump motor? Did it make the same grinding noise?
I have a suction noise from the circulation pump wich does not have enough water in the tub. Anyway to fix this? I have the same model. my water valve is open all the way under my sink. Thanks
Possibly a bad water inlet valve not letting enough water in or a bad water inlet guide that is not measuring properly how much water is entering the dishwasher.
Thank you, it's still under one year waranty and does it since day one. I will have it check. Problem is probably what you say, because if I manualy add water during washing cycle the noise stops. Everything else tests fine.
@@vincentcantin6945 Sounds good. Let us know what you find when you have it repaired.
Not sure if anyone can help but if so I have an lg and when I press the power button I get an L2 and can’t do anything else I’m not sure what to do if anything can help I would appreciate it.
My same exact dishwasher is blinking during cycle and will stop mid cycle. I'm seeing other people are having the same issues. Any suggestions to fix this issue?
Did you find the issue?
@@lucca450we would open the door and leave open in between dish washing cycles to let it dry. It seems to have work.
I have an almost 5-1/2 years old model LDP6797ST. While in the off position it suddenly started beeping, machine was empty, not in use, AE error code, and I could hear the pump motor trying to drain. It did this five times before I unplugged it. AE error code indicates Automatic Emergency leak detection. I did some research, figuring Id start with the simplest checks first. (Im a 75 yr old woman on a fixed income.) First check was to pull out the unit completely. I located the float, and jiggled it a bit, checking the pan for water. There was a bit in it, but not enough to cause an overflow on the floor. Plugged it back in, AE error code still there. Then checked the hoses for kinks or leaks at connection points. No leaks, no kinks. Plugged it back in, still seeing AE error. Arghhh! Unplugged it for 24 hrs and went to bed.
Next day, I tipped the entire machine forward about 45-60 degrees (read that somewhere), a bunch of water came out onto the floor. (Shoulda used a floor towel.) After cleaning up the floor, I plugged in the unit, and the error code was gone. I powered on the the washer as usual. It worked. Well that got rid of the error code. What I don't know is what caused the problem or if it will happen again. Its working again, for now.
To me, that sounds like a seal leaking or something else & water finally built up to level that sparked the code. I wonder if it'll get to that point again & you'll have to tip it forward again.
I fixed my issue…. Power on and hold start for 3 seconds and it will drain out standing water…. It i cleans the filter before and ran disposal. 👍
My dishwasher seems to pass all the tests with the exception of the vent door doesn’t look like it opens, but the fan is running. Is this possibly the control panel?
The device stops and beeps and won’t complete a cycle that’s what brought me to checking the dishwasher.
From what you are describing, it could be a bad main control board, a bad vent, or bad wiring between the two.
@@PartsDr thanks for the quick reply. I purchased a replacement fan/vent assembly from your website and replaced it. Same issue. So must be the control board or the wires like you said. Guess purchasing a new control board would be the next step.
@@tylzsomeone976 Let us know what you find!
Hi.

Thanks.
Plz tell my lg dishwasher modle DFB 512Fw and it is not restart from the same time where it is power off its restart from start of the cycle
I have a ldf5545st LG dishwasher. The last step it just shows “LO” and continues to run. What would be wrong with it?
Check the diverter motor that is used to change the water between the spray arms.
Mine also only displayed LO during the test, but I ran a turbo cycle and I put a camera in there and saw both the top and bottom arms spin
I can not enter into to test mode. Is there another way to go into test mode?
What is the model number of your dishwasher?
My dishwasher seemed to “pass” this diagnostic. However, once a cycle is started, it will run for about 10 minutes before beeping a couple of times and shutting off. Every time there is a considerable amount of water in the bottom of the bowl. Could this be a bad control panel? No error codes present.
My dishwasher has the same problem
What was the issue?

So if the door is locked how do I open it?
This video has helped me immensely in troubleshooting my dishwasher. I have an LG LDF5678BD. The washer motor is very loud and I plan to replace this. The other message I see is when I run the Vario test I see the 1 LO followed by a C93. The display will flash alternately between 1 LO and C93. Any thoughts on this?
Sorry, we do not have anything on the C93. If you find out anything, please let us know.
Could you please send the service manual of this dishwasher. While doing vario test my dishwasher shows C43.My dishwasher is LDF5545ST
We couldn't find LG listing anything about C43 for your dishwasher.

Hello, I have an LG LDP6810SS, and the Power + Start buttons don't do anything. Any idea if it's another button combination?

@@PartsDr ok, thanks anyway - was curious how to get it into the diag mode and then how to get through the tests because the buttons/screen aren't visible when the door is closed
Power button and high temp at the same time works for some models. Try that
My LG dishwasher door latch broke and our local appliance repair person won't repair LG or Samsung. Can I do this myself?
We have a video on that repair here: ruclips.net/video/Q5aCvWzOb50/видео.html
I cant get my Ldp6797st Dishwasher to enter self test mode. Its not starting. Just the buttons on the left work, nothing on the right. Start dosent seem to do anything. Please help!
We don't have instructions for the test mode for your model currently. The description of the problem sounds like a bad touchpad on the control panel.
Is there no test for the heating element? My dishwasher is running the he code after I fixed the fe error code
We recommend to test the heating elements resistance using an ohm meter. It should measure approximately 11.5 Ohms at room temperature. Make sure the power is disconnected from the dishwasher and the wires are removed from the element when testing.
@@PartsDr ill try that thank you
My LDF5678ST keeps tripping breaker. Diagnosis comes out fine. Can’t run test mode. Where should I start the trouble shooting? I’m thinking main board?
Start by checking the electrical connections inside the electrical box where the power supply comes into the dishwasher. See this video here: ruclips.net/video/JBoXTLpLxwU/видео.html
@@PartsDr so I was able to run test and it doesn’t let it run third test. That is the drain pump right? Also disconnected pump power and still tripped breaker. Assuming main board?
@@ajguerra9547 It could be a bad main control board. This type of problem is difficult to troubleshoot.
Having same issue again. Last time I put a high loop and it worked. The dishwasher keeps tripping breaker on test 4. Swapped out drain motor and still tripping.
The control panel on my LG frequently flashes OFF then back ON quickly, and there is associated beeping noise. I’ve tested the power and it’s good, could this be a bad panel?
Yes, that problem could be caused by a bad control panel.
I have the same issue. Has yours resolved?
@Parts Dr, I engaged the test mode on my LDT5678ST because it has stopped sending water to the sprayers. Upon activating test mode, the display showed n04, d49, and U50. I then pressed Start. When the machine reached test number 7, the display showed C00 then 1LO with loud motor noise but no spraying either top or bottom. All other functions appear normal. Any ideas? Thanks very much!
When I engage my test mode, I get n04, d49, and U50 in the display. My test sequence differs slightly from the one you have listed.
1) Detergent door
2) Sump temp
3) Door vent blower motor
4) ?Soil sensor? Display shows "180"
5) Drain valve/motor : Good
6) Water inlet valve/motor: Good
7) Washer motor: Loud motor noise while spinning. No water to either upper or lower sprayer.
I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!
It could be caused by a bad circulation pump. If the pump motor is receiving power but it isn't running, either the pump is bad or something is jammed inside of it causing it not to turn. This is the circulation pump for your model here: partsdr.com/part/abt72989206-pump-and-casing-assembly?model=LDT5678ST---00
How did you get yours into test mode? Mine won’t activate. Have the ldts5552s which is very similar to yours.
I have the same dishwasher but can't get into the test mode. Can you help please?
@@bmanizzal4319 power +high temp is how I got mine to go into test mode.
Is it possible to go into diagnostic mode on an older mode, that doesn’t have a start button?
What is your dishwasher's model number?
@@PartsDr lds5811ww -- it wasn't filling, so I bought a new inlet valve (made sure it's AC, not DC) and now it just fills continuously once power has been connected.
@@CapesOfficial It sounds like the main control board that supplies power to the water inlet valve may be bad and constantly sending power to the water valve even when it is not calling for water.
@@PartsDr that's what I've been leaning towards. I wasn't sure if there was any sort of reset I could do or a diagnostics mode I could go into to try to narrow it down. If that's the case, it almost feels like a new dishwasher may be in order..
@@CapesOfficial Sorry the outcome wasn't the best!
We just purchased a new LG dishwasher (11/14/20), and it stopped draining twice; we had to do a manuel drain. It's super quiet. Any ideas about what could be going wrong?
When the dishwasher isn't draining, try running it through test #4 in the video. This should help you narrow down if the drain pump is running or not and help you narrow down the problem.
I have a MEZ64589015 that always has the * flashing on the the front of the machine, I filled the reservoir and still it’s flashing and will not start, seems like it is stuck in standby. I’ve reset the breaker and pulled the plug and still it’s locked in standby mode, any thoughts? Also loved your video.
Mines too! Is it the panel?
Mine does the same. Light flashes but it doesn't start or run. Only about a year old, not used very often. I wouldn't think it should be having issues already!
Have the exact dishwasher, tried several times to get it into test mode....GOT NOTHIING! Tried unplugging and rebooting and test to run a test, and got nothing! Had 0E code drain issue over and over, cleared lines and filters NOTE: Dishwasher is brand new!! ... Faulty Circuit board?
Take it back to the store and exchange it for another one?
