Standing water in the tub after the cycle, an OE code on the display, or a wet, musty smell. We fix this in La Habra — usually same-day.
LG owners in La Habra call us for exactly this problem more than any other company in the area. From Westridge to Country Hills, La Habra homeowners call us when an LG appliance quits — and we show up on time.
Food debris past the filter blocks the sump inlet. A deep clean plus a check of the chopper/screen usually restores drainage.
The pump hums or does nothing at the end of the cycle. We carry LG dishwasher drain pumps — a same-visit swap.
Grease and debris close the hose over time, especially at the sink connection or air gap on the counter.
Water drains, then flows right back into the tub — the one-way valve isn't sealing.
The board never energizes the pump; diagnosed in LG's test mode.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
OE | Drain error |
AE / E1 | Leak detected in the base pan |
LE | Motor error |
If a filter cleaning and disposal check don't clear it, the drain pump is the usual fix. If you're seeing the AE leak code, stop running the machine and call — water in the base pan needs to be found and fixed before it damages the floor. We're in La Habra regularly — most repairs are completed the same visit.
OE is a drain error — the water didn't leave the tub in time. Clean the filter, check the disposal and hose; if it persists, the drain pump likely needs replacement.
Standing water and a dirty filter are the usual causes. Once drainage is fixed and the filter cleaned, run a hot cycle with dishwasher cleaner — the smell goes with the water.
