LDF5545ST LG Dishwasher - Overview

This is apparently a widely known issue for LG, and since their call center was closed due to Coronavirus, I had no luck getting them to cover the repair. Not wanting to wait weeks of months for them to get off their duffs, I ordered the part and unscrewed the six screws holding the control panel on and unplugged the old part, plugged in the new part, and replaced the screws.

Works great now.

This was my first time repairing a dishwasher. I watched YouTube on how to remove the dishwasher from the cabinet. Afterwards, I removed the bottom of the dishwasher while it was laying flat to get to the motor and micro switch. The only difficulty I had was getting to the motor which required taking the bottom section off of the dishwasher. I could not get an appliance repair company to work on an LG dishwasher. My only option was to repair the dishwasher or bought a new dishwasher. Therefore, my wife and I decided to , make an attempt to repair this one with a backup plan of buying a new one. Luckily, we were able to fix this one within two hours.

This was a $999 dishwasher. We saved the cost of a new dishwasher by taking the time to fix this one.

Ordered the roller from Parts Select, slid the roller over the little spindle sticking out of the bottom rack and snapped it in place. Job done in less than one minute.
