Lg Dishwasher LDS5811BB-01 Leaking

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for LG dishwashers. This part regulates the flow of water into the dishwasher tub during the fill cycle, ensuring the proper water level for effective cleaning.

Causes of a bad part can include sediment or mineral buildup obstructing the valve, physical damage from water pressure or impact, or electrical malfunctions preventing the valve from opening and closing correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include:

• Failure of the dishwasher to fill with water
• Overfilling or insufficient water levels in the tub
• Leaks from the valve or water inlet area
• Error codes or indicator lights related to water supply issues

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This lower spray arm (nozzle assembly) mounts at the bottom of the tub and spins to deliver pressurized wash water across dishes. Replacing a cracked or clogged arm restores even spray coverage and helps resolve poor cleaning results.

• Distributes wash water from the pump across the lower rack area
• Rotates to provide even spray coverage and rinsing
• Replaces warped, cracked, or clogged arms that reduce cleaning or cause noise
• Common symptoms: dishes not getting clean, spray arm not turning, visible damage or blockages

• Disconnect power at the breaker; open the door and remove the lower rack
• Release the old arm from the center hub (turn/unsnap retainer) and lift off
• Clear debris from the hub and filter area; seat the new arm fully and verify free rotation
• Restore power and run a short cycle to proper spray action

The Door Gasket is an OEM part for LG dishwashers. It forms a watertight seal around the dishwasher door, preventing leaks during the wash cycle. This gasket ensures that water stays inside the dishwasher, promoting efficient cleaning and protecting your kitchen from water damage.

Causes of a bad door gasket can include regular wear and tear, buildup of detergent residue, or damage from closing the door on obstructive items. Over time, the gasket can become brittle or cracked, compromising its sealing capabilities.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• Water leaking from the dishwasher door
• Visible cracks, tears, or deformities in the gasket
• The dishwasher door not closing properly
• Increased moisture or puddles around the base of the dishwasher

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Sump and Motor Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG dishwashers. As a functional pumping component, it circulates water and removes debris during dish cycles.

Symptoms of a bad sump and motor assembly can include:

• Inability to properly fill or drain water from the dishwasher
• Leaks or excessive pooling of water inside the unit 
• Loud knocking or grinding noises from the motor area

Causes of failure may involve a clogged or cracked sump housing impairing flow, or wear of the motor bearings degrading power output over time.

This genuine OEM LG part is also compatible with some select Kenmore brand models.

Sump assembly collects and channels a washer's drained water into the drain pump to let the machine empty properly. Replacing a worn or cracked sump helps stop leaks and restores normal draining performance. What it does:

• Directs and funnels tub water to the drain pump so the washer can evacuate water.
• Prevents water from leaking under the washer when intact and properly sealed.
• Can cause poor or no draining, standing water in the tub, or drain/pump-related error codes when damaged.
• May produce unusual noises during the drain cycle if cracked or clogged.

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before starting any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the washer's front or lower access panel; support the machine as needed.
• Inspect and replace any worn seals, hoses, or clamps when installing to ensure a watertight fit.
• After installation, run a short drain/spin cycle and check for leaks before returning the washer to regular use.

This dishwasher sump gasket seals the joint between the sump assembly and the tub to prevent leaks and maintain wash performance. Replace it if the old seal is worn, flattened, cracked, or damaged to stop water escaping beneath the unit.

• Creates a watertight seal where the sump attaches to the tub
• Helps prevent water leaks from the base of the dishwasher
• Supports proper circulation and overall wash performance
• Common failure signs: puddles under the unit, leaks during a cycle, or a visibly torn/deformed gasket

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Access the sump from inside the tub (remove lower rack, spray arm, filters, and sump cover) or from below, depending on model
• Clean mating surfaces; install the new gasket evenly without twists or gaps
• Reassemble and run a short cycle to check for leaks
