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.

Can you repair a panel-ready dishwasher in an Uptown condo without damaging the cabinet front?

Yes. The technician removes the decorative panel or works from the toe-kick and inner door as the design allows, protecting the cabinetry along the way. Most pump, valve and seal repairs do not require taking the dishwasher out of its opening.

Why does my Uptown apartment dishwasher back up into the sink?

Backups into the sink usually trace to a clogged disposal, a blocked air gap, or a drain hose that has lost its high loop. We check those shared plumbing points before blaming the dishwasher pump, and we tell you which part is at fault and what the fix involves 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.

Drain Lines and Disposals Under Small Sinks

In a compact condo kitchen, the dishwasher's drain hose shares a tight sink cabinet with the disposal, the supply line and whatever is stored there. A hose that sags, kinks or loses its high loop can let dirty water drift back into the tub, and a newly installed disposal with its knockout plug still in place stops draining altogether. Standing water after a cycle, a sour smell and gritty dishes are the usual signs.

Start by cleaning the filter at the bottom of the tub and running the disposal briefly before you start the dishwasher. If water still pools, turn off the breaker or unplug the unit before checking under the sink for a pinched hose. Never pull a panel-ready dishwasher out by its decorative front.

The technician checks the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door gasket and the installation itself. A leak in a tower can reach the unit below, so if you notice water on the floor, shut off the supply valve under the sink and call us.
