How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply before removing hoses if needed.

  • 1. Clean dispenser drawer:
    • Remove the detergent drawer completely.
    • Disassemble removable parts and soak in warm water to remove residue.
  • 2. Clean dispenser housing:
    • Use a small brush to clean the water inlet holes above the drawer.
  • 3. Check water pressure:
    • Ensure household water pressure is adequate.
    • If only the dispenser is affected, the specific channel in the LG inlet valve may be clogged or faulty.
  • 4. Replace inlet valve if needed:
    • Access the water inlet valve and replace if one of the solenoids feeding the dispenser is not operating.
