How to Troubleshoot a Leaking LG LDF7810ST

The LG LDF7810ST dishwasher has a very large capacity with removable upper rack, inverter controlled motor, hybrid drying system, alternating water spray system, and a self-cleaning filter. If the dishwasher is leaking, however, there may be some basic problems with the water supply system or how the dishwasher is being used. Some troubleshooting efforts may be useful in determining what is causing the leak and help fix it.

Things You'll Need

• Clean cloth(s)

Instructions

1. Check the hoses connected to the LG dishwasher and tighten the connections to prevent water leaking as it passes through the hoses.

2. Wipe up any rinse aid detergent that has spilled inside the dishwasher outside of the dispenser. Rinse aid foams easily and can create a leak if it foams up during the wash cycle.

3. Check the dishwasher detergent container for the amount of detergent to be used, as too much can create over-sudsing and leaking.

4. Wipe the door gasket with a clean cloth to remove any debris and look for signs of cracking or damage that may be allowing water to leak out.

5. Find the water inlet float on the bottom of the dishwasher near the rear and see if it is stuck open. If so, try to close the valve. Repair may be necessary.

Tips & Warnings

• Contact LG for service at 800-243-0000 if the water inlet valve or seal needs to be repaired.
