LG Dishwasher nE Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code nE
Appliance Dishwasher

nE explained

LG’s guide files nE under the Vario pump, and the codes shown can vary by model. Two situations can bring it up.

  • The impeller fails to rotate as it should.
  • Dishes are in contact with the impeller.

The fix to attempt

  1. Rearrange the dishes so none of them reaches the impeller.
  2. Run the dishwasher again.
  3. If nE comes back, request service, because LG says the dishwasher has to be inspected by a service technician.

Nearby codes

  • LE concerns the cleaning motor.
  • OE concerns a tub that is not fully drained.
  • HE concerns the water heater.

A repeat nE after you shuffled the racks is worth a call to (415) 223-7887, which we answer for San Francisco and Bay Area dishwashers. Say that you rearranged the load and restarted, and read up on LG dishwasher repair if you like.

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

nE is a Vario pump issue on an LG dishwasher, where the impeller does not spin normally or dishes touch it.

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.
