Hello Anonymous...
You hit on the reason (
$$$$) I come here to contribute... Times are hard, money is scares... and my darling inhabitants are hurting...
Sometimes I can help not throw away a nearly perfect
(and faithful) appliance ...
The ULTIMATE in recycling...
((Good for all of us... "inhabitants" (EARTH will be fine)).
((If you have ever seen our home from space...
It's a really pretty place. I'm not so worried for the place...
But there's a CERTAIN magic with these inhabitants...
If we pull together... It will be quite
REWARDING)).
So...
Thank you for ASKING.
I have a
FREE manuals site where I start to read your
owner's manual... Better still... The Manufacturer also
prints "
SERVICE MANUALS"...
several are shown... (
don't go there yet)
ManualsLib Makes it easy to find manuals online
So being a
MORE is BETTER GUY... I chose the one
that occupies the most memory....
and ran through the index 'til we got to trouble codes...
We are starting where your (pretty clever) sweetums found his
CODE clues... and we are going to look backwards..
To find "
Thermostat"... (Found "thermistor").
Even if I am
WRONG... You will now remember the secret handshake...& always know of the "MAGIC" of errors codes..
(which begin on your
FREE page 36...
Although there is another "thermistor" error...
It is an over heat condition.. but it all for the entire PCB (printed control board) to be replaced
LG Dishwasher Main Control Board 6871DD1006Q
Code looks like an EE
with the top bar missing from the first "E"
(making it an inverted "F" (an important difference)...
~~
We are going with ""
HE""
HE"(symptom: water is
not being heated)
Code yields...
>>
HEATER ERROR... (check/replace "
thermistor")
LDS5811WW (et al): >> (click here))...
LG DF6810WW Service Manual Page 36
This enables us to search on-line parts houses,
(everybody sells pretty much the same parts... $$, Services & guaranteed fits are different ... (My personal experience
SEARS folks a rude, pushy, abusive but make up for all that by their higher than average prices... (I
used to be a KENMORE fan))...
SEARS says.. the code is "
tE"...
and further states the control board must be replaced
Now I use appliancepartspros, partselect, repairclinic (etc.)...
Sites (with
VIDEOS) that respond to an internet search on
"
LDS5811WW + thermister"
No "THERMISTER" parts found
Search Over 2 1 Million Appliance Parts
Sadly... Henry (SEARS) says the "thermister" is an integrated part of the HEATER... further adding "the part may be returned if it does not fix your trouble $54.03...ish
(SEARS = guaranteed fit).
