Quick answer
LG dishwasher nE: impeller trouble. Rearrange the dishes, restart, and request service if it persists.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so nE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Vario pump issue: the impeller does not spin normally or dishes touch it.
The nE code on an LG dishwasher is listed as a Vario pump issue. It may occur when the impeller does not spin normally. Codes can differ depending on the product model.
Two possible reasons
The impeller does not spin.
Dishes touch the impeller.
What the manual says to do
Reorganize the dishes and restart the dishwasher. If nE persists, the manual states that inspection by a service technician is necessary, and it asks you to request service.
If nE returns after you rearrange the load, call (310) 742-8008 for LG dishwasher service in Los Angeles. Tell the dispatcher the code, the model number and that you already rearranged the dishes and restarted. Read about LG dishwasher repair too.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
