Although resetting an LG dishwasher with error code E1 is usually a simple procedure, it’s important to know what’s producing the error in the first place. The water supply or inlet valve of the dishwasher is frequently the cause of error code E1. This thorough guide will cover how to correctly diagnose and reset an LG dishwasher that has the E1 error code.
How To Get Rid Of The E1 Error Code On The LG Dishwasher?
Before proceeding, it’s crucial to understand what the E1 error code signifies. In most LG dishwashers, E1 indicates a water inlet problem. This can be due to a water supply issue, a clogged filter, or a malfunctioning inlet valve. Understanding the root cause will help you address the problem effectively.
- Check the Water Supply: Start by verifying that there is no issue with the water supply to your dishwasher. Ensure that the water supply valve connected to the dishwasher is fully open. Check for any kinks or obstructions in the water supply line. A restricted water supply can trigger the E1 error.
- Inspect the Inlet Valve Filter: The inlet valve of your dishwasher may have a filter screen that can become clogged over time. To access it, you may need to disconnect the dishwasher from the power source and the water supply. Once you’ve accessed the inlet valve, remove the filter and clean it thoroughly. A clogged filter can hinder water flow, leading to the E1 error.
- Reset the Dishwasher: After checking and addressing any water supply or filter issues, it’s time to reset the dishwasher to clear the E1 error code. Here’s how to do it:
- Power Off: Ensure the dishwasher is not running. If it’s in the middle of a cycle, wait for it to finish or manually cancel the cycle.
- Unplug or Turn Off Power: Depending on your dishwasher model, either unplug it from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the dishwasher. Wait for at least 5 minutes to allow the dishwasher’s control board to reset.
- Plug in or Restore Power: Plug the dishwasher back into the outlet or turn the circuit breaker back on.
- Restart the Dishwasher: Turn on the dishwasher and select a new cycle. It’s a good practice to run a short cycle, such as “Rinse Only,” to test if the E1 error has been cleared.
- Monitor for Error Recurrence: Once you’ve reset the dishwasher and started a new cycle, keep an eye on it to ensure the E1 error does not reappear. If the error persists, it may indicate a more significant issue, such as a faulty inlet valve or a malfunctioning control board.
If you’ve followed the steps above and the E1 error code continues to be a problem, it’s advisable to contact our qualified technicians. They can diagnose and repair any underlying issues that may require replacement parts or more advanced troubleshooting.
