LG LDS5811 top rack not cleaning
I Have the same issue, it sounds like the arms try and start up 4 times then each time power back down, the top arm is not spinning at all. On the fifth time a I hear grinding and then the mid and lower arms spin, soap streaks down the door, nothing stuck in any of the arms, 16 months old, 750.00 out of pocket for junk!
LDS5811WW - machine will not power on???
Some newer d/w have a lockout feature to prevent littles from turning it on, often the kiddos accidentally activate the lockout during their explorations. Any chance it's locked?
Also, I believe this type of unit has an adjustable seal at the bottom of the door that rubs on the bottom of the tub. You may need to pull this down a little to solve your leak.
Dishwasher is not drying properly and is out of
No recall.
You should use water temp 120 to 150 F, and make sure you use rinse aid (such as Jet Dry). Plastic items (like cheap advertising cups or storage containers) do not have enough mass to retain heat and dry very well. Item with more mass (glass and metal items) will dry as long as you conform to listed perameters listed above.

We have an lg dishwasher LDS5811ST and there is an
Kevin,
The LE error on the LG dishwasher means that the dishwasher believes there is a leak because the level of the water is decreasing between the time the wash or rinse cycle begins (with the proper amount of water) and before the cycle ends and the water is pumped out.
After you have ruled out a real leak (check closely underneath) then here is the next step. 99% of the problem with LE is caused by the drain hose not having a high point between where it connects at the dishwasher and the drain.
The fastest (but not best) way to fix this is create a loop in the drain hose raised high up underneath the counter top. Attach it so it will not fall back. The cause of the "leak" is the natural siphon effect that can develop when the drain hose has not high point. (exactly like the siphon tube you may have created in science class.)
Please report back what you find, OK?

what is your house wtr temp at the sink when you run water until it get hot? but none the less here is some suggestions turn your jet-dri to max, do not select the sani-wash or heated wash because if you house water is not at least 120* it will have issues and take and only choose normal or smart cyc, to assist the wet issues after turning the dial under the cap to max buy one of those hanging solid type of jet-dri baskets if you have a watersoftner you should only use 2 tsp per soap holding area you'll have one of those with slits on the side and the other without if you have turned up you waterheater to max and your house water is not 135* you have a faulty gas reg on the waterheater and either replace the reg or the wtrhtr Yes i know it costly but getting thing in proper order take time if not solve msg me through this site with the results thanks fixrguy.
Water dripping out of door vent in lower left side
This is being caused by the vent tube design. The lower fitting is pushed up into the upper fitting so water leaks out from the top. The fittings are designed backwards. Remove front door panel and their will be a white tube running down the side. That tube is pushed up into its mate. Pull it down and silacone calk all around the out side of that pieces and the inside of the upper piece. put them back together and then tape it with some duck tape. DO NOT US FOR AT LEAST 24 hrs.
My dishwasher does not always dry the dishes
The most important thing to getting the best drying from this energy efficient, water conserving dishwasher is keeping the rinse aid dispenser filled. In my part of the US, I only see a rinse aid called Jet Dry.
The Cascade is the detergent powder and will not help the dishes to get dry.
Note: Even with the rinse aid full, some plastics will still be wet.
My LG dishwasher is not washing the dishes well
Travis,
I had exactly the same problem with my LG dishwasher. What I found is I had tried to save some $$ by buying an ultra low cost Dishwasher detergent. As soon as I switched back to a brand name (Electrosol or Cascade powder) my problems went away, including the soap dissolving and washing out of the tray.
If this does not fix your problem, post back here and we can take the next step, which is probably a blocked filter or failed heating element. (but you should be getting an error message if the heating element has failed.
Good Luck!
How can i clean out the drainage hose on n lg
First of all, disconnect the electrica plug under the sink. Then you can remove the kickplate cover on the washer and you can access the hose to remove it.
It most likely goes to an "air gap" on the sink. That's the noisy vent is typically located to one side of your faucet. alot of times, that's where the drain hose will get blocked. Take the large hose loose from this first to check for blockage and build up...
Many times the blockage can't make it thru the air gap...
So if you clean that , you're probably have got it all.
