Frequently Asked Questions
•Where is the drain pump filter located on my LG dishwasher?
The drain pump filter is typically located inside the dishwasher tub, at the bottom near the spray arm. It's usually a cylindrical or basket-shaped filter that can be unscrewed or pulled out for cleaning.
•How do I test the water level sensor (OWI)?
Testing the OWI requires a multimeter and the dishwasher's service manual. You'll need to identify the correct pins on the OWI connector and measure the resistance or voltage output at different water levels. The service manual will provide the expected values.
•If the drain pump is getting power, but not draining, can I replace just the pump motor?
In some cases, you can replace just the drain pump motor, but it's often more reliable and easier to replace the entire drain pump assembly. This ensures proper sealing and avoids potential compatibility issues.
