Possible Causes
Clogged spray arms, Dirty filters, Weak circulation pump, Incorrect loading blocking spray
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before removing internal parts.
- Clean filters: Remove the LG filter assembly and wash thoroughly under running water. Clean debris from the sump.
- Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms. Rinse and clear all jets with a toothpick or small brush. Ensure they spin freely when reinstalled.
- Check loading pattern: Avoid blocking the spray arms with large pans or tall dishes. Do not nest bowls or stack items.
- Use proper detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher detergent and ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
If performance remains poor, the circulation pump may be weak and require replacement.
