Dimitri T Cranston , RI February 26, 2019 Appliance: LG Dishwasher LDS5040ST Lg dishwasher “ne” or “ue” error code (vario spray arm). This was a very simple repair. It was done in about an hour. It involves disconnecting the dishwasher, emptying the water from the inside, taking it out and flipping it over, and replacing the diverter motor. This repair is done on the underside of the dishwasher, nothing to disconnect inside (just remember to remove the baskets). It would be wise to order the motor seal and micro switch that goes with it as they are all cheap parts and easy to swap out during the procedure. Be sure to take pictures of what you disassemble in case you forget how they go back. You will have to reuse the plastic cam from the shaft of the old motor, or you can order a new one (note which side is up!).

Joseph K North Huntingdon , PA August 19, 2023 Appliance: LG Dishwasher LDS5040BB Ne error code. The repair was simple. Unplug the wire, remove 2 screws, remove the diverter motor then do the same in reverse. It took all of 5 minutes. The bigger job was removing the dishwasher and reinstalling it. Doing the repair myself saved me a lot of money. I’m guessing a repair person would have cost me around $200.00, maybe more. Read More...

Jim R Richardson , TX November 10, 2021 Appliance: Model DIVERTER MOTOR ASSEMBLY 4681ED3001D / AP5243567 Dishes on the bottom shelf of LG dishwasher were not getting clean. The bottom spray arm of the LG dishwasher was not working. Replacing the small and inexpensive diverter motor that channels the water to upper and lower spray arms fixed the issue. It was a quick and easy change. The motor was easy to get to after pulling the dishwasher out of the cabinet. There are many videos on line showing how to replace this motor. Also replaced the switch that monitors the motor position. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Adjustable Wrench, Screwdrivers
