My LG dishwasher shows AE. What should I do?

AE means water has reached the leak tray in the base. Turn off the power and water, and check for suds from the wrong detergent or a visible leak. The tray must dry out before the code clears, and repeated AE errors call for an inspection of the hoses, pump and door seal.

My dishwasher in an older Kannapolis kitchen fills with sink water. Why?

The drain hose is probably missing a high loop or air gap, so water from the sink flows back into the dishwasher. We can correct the drain routing and check that the pump is not damaged. The price is given before we start.

Can you tell if a leak under my Kannapolis dishwasher has damaged the floor?

We can show you where the water is coming from and whether the subfloor looks wet or soft. Floor repair itself is a job for a contractor, but stopping the leak comes first. We quote the dishwasher repair before doing it.

LG Dishwashers: What We Check First

LG dishwashers combine a stainless tub with a direct-drive inverter motor for the wash pump, spray arms that on QuadWash models rotate in multiple directions, and TrueSteam generators on some versions. A fine filter under the lower spray arm collects food particles and needs regular cleaning. The base of the unit holds a leak tray with a float switch, and the control board watches fill time, drain time and leak status closely.

Clogged fine filter causing OE drain errors and gritty dishes
Inlet valve or supply restriction producing IE fill errors
Leak tray float tripped, AE error and cycle shut down
Inverter wash motor weakening, spray arms barely turning

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our LG dishwasher repair guide.

Retrofitted dishwashers in older kitchens

When a dishwasher is added to a compact mill-house kitchen, it often ends up in a cabinet space that was cut down to fit, with a drain line run over to the sink and a water line tapped off the sink supply. Those connections are where trouble starts: a drain hose without a high loop can let sink water back into the tub, and a loose compression fitting can drip quietly onto a subfloor over the crawl space.

If you see water under the dishwasher, turn off the water at the sink shutoff and the power at the breaker. Check that the filter in the bottom of the tub is clean and that the door gasket is not torn. A floor that feels soft near the dishwasher is worth pointing out when you book.

The technician checks the pump, inlet valve, door latch, heater and the installation itself. Newer homes on the edges of Kannapolis tend to have standard builder installs where a pump or control failure is the usual fault. Either way, you get the diagnosis and price before work.
