The AE error code on an LG dishwasher indicates a leak. This could be caused by a number of things, including:
- A faulty float switch
- A leak in the drain hose
- A leak in the water inlet hose
- A faulty door seal
To troubleshoot the AE error code, you can try the following:
- Check the float switch. The float switch is a small device that is located in the bottom of the dishwasher. It is designed to turn off the water supply if it detects a leak. If the float switch is faulty, it will not turn off the water supply, and this can cause a leak. To check the float switch, you can remove it from the dishwasher and see if it is free of debris. You can also try to gently move the float switch up and down to see if it is working properly.
- Check the drain hose. The drain hose is the hose that carries the wastewater from the dishwasher to the drain. If the drain hose is damaged or leaking, this can cause a leak. To check the drain hose, you can disconnect it from the dishwasher and inspect it for damage. You can also run the dishwasher and see if any water leaks out of the drain hose.
- Check the water inlet hose. The water inlet hose is the hose that carries the water from the water supply to the dishwasher. If the water inlet hose is damaged or leaking, this can cause a leak. To check the water inlet hose, you can disconnect it from the dishwasher and inspect it for damage. You can also run the dishwasher and see if any water leaks out of the water inlet hose.
- Check the door seal. The door seal is the rubber gasket that seals the door of the dishwasher. If the door seal is damaged or worn, this can cause a leak. To check the door seal, you can run your finger around the edge of the door to see if there are any gaps. You can also try to gently pull on the door seal to see if it is loose.
If you have checked all of the above and the AE error code is still displayed, you should contact an authorized LG technician for assistance.
