Ray March 02, 2015 for Model Number LDS5811ST We have a 2006 LDS5811ST which has recently begun making a strange noise. No error codes yet, but I'm concerned it's starting to go out. A few minutes after the machine is turned on, I hear a whirring noise which "rev's up" then stops, then "rev's up" again a little longer...for several times, then runs & sounds like it' circulating.. I suspect the pump motor is beginning to fail but have seen other diagnosis with things like diverters? Any suggestions? I replaced the pump motor in 2011, but not the entire assembly. Thanks
1 Answer Ray, You will want to check to make sure that there is not anything that is caught in the pump. It does sound like the issue would have something to do with the pump but sounds more like something being caught in it. Read More...
Victor January 14, 2015 for Model Number ldf6920st The unit appears to drain all water. Someone said to replace the main board. Nothing changed, same condition. Someone said its the vario motor valve. Thank you

Vlad November 02, 2014 for Model Number LDF 7810ST My dishwasher started having problems with lose of pressure. Water will still come out of the arms but not enough power to actually turn them at all. Water level is okay, checked the screen and found no trash there. Also replaced the seals at that time. Is my pump going bad? Thanks for help.
1 Answer Vlad, The most likely cause for the loss of pressure would be that the diverter motor may have failed. If the diverter motor stopped mid turn then it would have water going to the upper and lower spray arms but would not be full pressure or allow it to turn. Read More...
Maik October 02, 2014 for Model Number LDS5811WW My dishwasher stopped cleaning dishes one day. We get little to no water in top rack plenty of water in bottom rack but those dishes didn't come clean in the bottom nor did the soap chamber open and dissolve the soap. i downloaded tech manual and ran test mode sect 4.3(4-3-1). When I first put into test mode i get error code n:3h/ u:03 (alternating flashing) then the instructions say to push a button from to 13 times and i should get different readings. The display stops on the tenth time and reads n:3a and alternatively flashes the numbers 22/23. If I try to proceed for further diagnostics, it doesn't go to numbers 11-13. Not sure what parts need repair nor do I understand the diagnostic readout. I suspect from my other research it may have something to do with the vario spray system or vari motor assembly. Please confirm and advise what parts are needed.
1 Answer Maik, This issue would be an indication that the vario motor is not working properly. You will want to make sure that there is nothing caught in the nozzles and if there is not then replace the motor. Read More...
Donald July 27, 2014 for Model Number LDF6810ST I get no water to the top rack it looks like the motor assembly ac, steppe is not working could that be the problem.
1 Answer Donald, If the stepping motor is not working then that would be the issue with the upper rack not getting water to it. Read More...
Raicko December 22, 2012 for Model Number have a LDS5811ST I have a LDS5811ST Dishwasher. It seems the upper and lower arms are not moving. What part number do I need to replace to fix it? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Raicko, If none of the screens are stopped up and it is filling sufficiently with water, the circulation pump 3485ED1002B will have to be replaced. Read More...
Mike H December 13, 2012 for Model Number Ldf6810st I have an lg model ldf6810st dishwasher and it is filling chamber at start up but when motor kicks in to circulate water it make load noise and shuts down with error code -LE. Which motor should I replace? Thx.
1 Answer Mike, The "LE" error code, would indicate the wash pump assembly 3111DD1001A is clogged or the motor 4681ED1004B is damaged. You'll need to remove and dismantle the pump assembly, in order to remove the motor, so you should find the damaged impeller or clog in the casing when doing the teardown, if thats the issue.

Gerry September 28, 2012 for Model Number ldf7810st With the racks out and bottom spray assembly out there is water coming out of the bottom and top at the same time. Has cleaning issue and don't hear water spraying against the door like it used to do. Lower pressure inside unit. Has clear filter and does fill up.
1 Answer Hello Gerry, As long as the unit fills sufficiently, there is either another screen down inside the pump stopping up, the impeller has debris wrapped around it, or a piece of broken glass has worn the impellers down. Read More...
Lee September 17, 2012 for Model Number LDS4821ww My machine will get water to the top rack spinner arms but will not turn them. We found the pump that sends the water up does not turn freely. We can turn it by hand however it is very hard to turn. Any suggestions? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Lee. Check the water level inside the unit and see if it is filling up properly. If not, the water valve may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. Also, make sure the arms are not clogged or leaking water due to cracks in them. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Russell. Uninstall dishwasher and flip it over on its top. Then remove the base cover and gain access to the Vario motor assembly 4681ED3001D. Remove 2 screws for Vario Motor. Pull the Vario Motor out of the unit and remove the wires going to it. Reinstall with the new motor in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
