LG LDTS5552S user manual

To manually drain an LG LDTS5552S dishwasher, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by turning off the dishwasher and unplugging it from the power source to ensure safety.
2. Locate the drain hose, which is usually connected to the sink drain or garbage disposal under your kitchen sink.
3. Unclip or loosen the clamp attaching the drain hose to the sink drain or garbage disposal. This will allow you to disconnect the hose.
4. Place a shallow pan or bucket under the disconnected end of the drain hose to catch any water that may come out.
5. Once everything is in place, carefully remove the other end of the drain hose from the dishwasher. This may involve removing screws, clips, or clamps securing the hose to the dishwasher.
6. Once the drain hose is completely disconnected, allow any remaining water to drain into the pan or bucket that you placed earlier. Tilt the dishwasher slightly to encourage water drainage.
7. After the dishwasher has drained completely, you can reconnect the drain hose to the dishwasher and secure it with screws, clips, or clamps.
8. Reattach the other end of the drain hose to the sink drain or garbage disposal, ensuring it is securely fastened with the clamp or clip.
9. Plug the dishwasher back in and turn it on to check if the drainage issue has been resolved.
It's worth mentioning that if your LG dishwasher frequently requires manual draining or experiences drainage issues, it could be a sign of a clog or a problem with the dishwasher's pump. In such cases, it is recommended to contact LG customer support or schedule a professional technician to diagnose and repair the problem properly.

There can be several reasons why your LG dishwasher may not start. Some possible causes and solutions include:
1. Power supply: Ensure that the dishwasher is properly connected to a power source and that the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the dishwasher is not tripped or blown. Check if other appliances connected to the same power source are working.
. Door latch: The dishwasher may not start if the door latch is not properly engaged or if the door switch is faulty. Ensure that the dishwasher door is closed firmly and securely. Check if the door latch is damaged or worn out and replace it if necessary.
3. Control panel settings: Make sure that the dishwasher is set to the desired cycle and that any delay start option is not activated.
4. Water supply: Ensure that the water supply valve is fully open and that the dishwasher is getting adequate water pressure. Check if the inlet valve screen or filter is clogged and needs cleaning or replacement.
5. Thermal fuse: Some dishwashers have a thermal fuse that can blow if the dishwasher overheats. If the thermal fuse is blown, replace it with a new one.
6. Sensor issues: Modern dishwashers have several sensors to detect water level, temperature, and other factors. If any of these sensors are faulty or malfunctioning, it can prevent the dishwasher from starting. In such cases, professional repair may be necessary.
7. Control board or wiring problems: If none of the above solutions work, there may be a problem with the dishwasher's control board or wiring. In this case, it is advisable to contact LG customer support or a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair.
8. Child lock: Some dishwashers have a child lock feature that can prevent the dishwasher from starting. Check if the child lock is enabled and disable it if necessary.
It is recommended to consult the LG dishwasher's user manual for specific troubleshooting steps and to ensure proper handling of the dishwasher.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to troubleshoot your LG dishwasher:
1. Check the power supply: Ensure that the dishwasher is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker or fuse box is not tripped.
. Inspect the door latch: Make sure that the dishwasher door is firmly closed and latched.
3. Clean the filter: Remove and clean the dishwasher filter, as a clogged filter can lead to poor cleaning performance.
4. Check the water supply: Ensure that the water inlet valve is open and the water supply line is not kinked or clogged.
5. Look for error codes: LG dishwashers often display error codes to indicate a specific problem. Refer to your dishwasher's user manual to determine the meaning of the error code and the recommended solution.
6. Check for leaks: Inspect the dishwasher for any leaks. If you find any, determine the source of the leakage and fix it accordingly.
7. Run a test cycle: Some LG dishwashers have a diagnostic mode that allows you to run a test cycle. Refer to your dishwasher's manual to initiate the diagnostic mode and follow the instructions provided.
8. Reset the dishwasher: Turn off the dishwasher and unplug it. Wait for a few minutes and then plug it back in. This can sometimes resolve minor issues.
9. Contact customer support: If you have followed all troubleshooting steps and the dishwasher still isn't working properly, it may be time to contact LG customer support or schedule a service call with a professional technician.
