Scott March 05, 2016 for Model Number LDF7932ST I got the HE code on my LG dishwasher so I replaced the heating element. I reinstalled the dishwasher and ran it through a cycle. About 5 minutes into the cycle we had a hot electric smell and a little smoke so I cut the power to the dishwasher. Is this normal for a new heating element to do this.
1 Answer Scott, There will be a residual amount of oils from the manufacturing process of the element being made so it would not be uncommon to smell this. Read More...
W White February 15, 2015 for Model Number LG LDF6920st Dishwasher gives a code of HE. Open door and find water still in tub. Cut power off then back on. Retry later this time it ran for a long period of time no water in tub. I check heating element and found it bad removed screen from sump found scaring on the housing at the vario valve. Was going to replace the sump assembly but cannot find it in this model got any suggestions.
1 Answer W. WHite, Unfortunately for this model the sump is not available as an assembly and you would need to get each individual component for the unit. Read More...
Nick September 09, 2014 for Model Number LDF6920st What is the correct size of the center nut of the heating element? I replaced the heating element & now I have water leaking which wasn't happening before. I have used a wrench that is 3/8 which is too small and another that is 7/16 which is too big.
Ed May 03, 2013 for Model Number LDF6810BB Water is not heating at all. NO HE error code. No TE error code. When running LG check program, I get 36 for the heater which is normal. I get 33 for the thermistor and I should get 39. Inlet valve check doesn't return a steady number, but keeps cycling through numbers without stopping. I have checked the tub filling and draining normally. Is there anything other than the heater/thermistor element that could cause the problem? I am thinking about the control panel. Is there a "secret combination" of button pushes to check it out? There is no reputable authorized repair service within a hundred miles of me. Thanks, Ed
1 Answer Hello Ed. It sounds like the control board is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. The heater and the thermistor are within specs on the unit. Read More...
Joetta April 29, 2013 for Model Number LDS5811BB / 01 My dishwasher the water is not staying hot and my dishes are not getting dry. I start running water to get hot before I start my dishwasher. I have checked the water when it drains and it is barely warm. My rinse aid is full and I have not gotten any error codes to let me know there is a problem. When it has completed the cycle the dishwasher is not hot inside. It use to steam up my eye glasses when I would open it when done. Don't do that anymore. I was hoping you would be able to tell me what could be wrong and what part I would need. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Joetta. Test for power to the heater assembly. If there is power there, and the heater does not work, replace the heater assembly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Dave April 18, 2013 for Model Number LG LDS4821BB I've replaced the heating element and I still get a HE fault. All of the wiring looks good. I believe that the thermistor is the sensor in the heating element so that should be good since I replaced the heating element. The micro-switches in the door latch operate correctly (Heating Element wiring runs through this switch). I believe that that narrows my problem down to the relay on the control board not functioning properly. Any other suggestions???
1 Answer Dave, Yes the thermistor does come as part of the heater assembly so it is a good thermistor. You will want to check wiring to make sure that there is no breaks or damage to wires. If wiring is ok then the Control board would be the problem. Read More...
Crystal April 08, 2013 for Model Number LDS5811ST My dishwasher dosent dry my dishes. Glass ware will dry but none of the plastic dries. Would you think that I need to change the heating assy?
1 Answer Hello Crystal. Make sure the unit has rinse aid in it. If not, this is the issue. If it does, then test the heater and see if it is good. If it is bad, replace the heater. If it test good, replace the main control board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Bernard February 12, 2013 I replaced the element on my LG Dishwasher less than 1 year ago and now I have to replace it again. Is there a way to trouble shoot a problem. I don't want to continue to replace this part. The element did work for about 8 months after I replaced it.
1 Answer Hello Bernard. You need to check and see if the element is bad, or if the board is bad. If the element is bad, you may have a bad control board causing the element to burn out in the unit. Read More...
Ap January 29, 2013 for Model Number LG Dishwasher - LDS4821ST I am replacing the heater element, part # 5301DD1001A, after replacing the part it leaked, checked for debris, nothing. I reseated it and it still leaks. Any advice, silicone maybe. Is high temperature an issue? Thanks for the help.
1 Answer Hello AP. It sounds like the center drive nut is not tight enought to cause a good seal on the sump assemnly of the unit. Try to tighten the nut and compress the rubber seal to stop the leak in the unit. Read More...
Eitak January 25, 2013 for Model Number LDS4821ST My LG Dishwasher Model # LDS4821ST is not working and showing an error code HE. What part needs replacing and is it possible to do it myself? You your parts come with diagrams for easy installation?
1 Answer Hello Eitak, The HE error code indicates a faulty heater. Check the heater to see if it is open. If open or shorted then heater5301DD1001G needs to be replaced. Read More...
