LG Dishwasher Parts: What You Need to Know to Keep Your Appliance Running Smoothly

LG Dishwasher Parts: What You Need to Know to Keep Your Appliance Running Smoothly

LG dishwashers are known for their modern features, sleek designs, and reliable cleaning performance. But like any appliance, parts can wear out over time. Knowing which parts are most important — and how to identify when they need replacing — can save you from costly repairs or even the need for a full replacement.

At PRS Parts Inc., we carry OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) LG dishwasher parts to ensure the best performance and compatibility for your appliance.

Common LG Dishwasher Parts and Their Functions

1. Dishwasher Racks and Rack Wheels

  • Purpose: Hold and organize dishes during wash cycles. Rack wheels allow smooth sliding in and out.

  • Signs of Wear: Rusted rack tines, broken wheels, or difficulty moving racks.

2. Spray Arms

  • Purpose: Distribute water evenly for thorough cleaning.

  • Signs of Wear: Clogs, cracks, or uneven spray patterns leading to unclean dishes.

3. Water Inlet Valve

  • Purpose: Controls water flow into the dishwasher.

  • Signs of Wear: Dishwasher not filling with water or filling too slowly.

4. Door Gaskets and Seals

  • Purpose: Prevent water leaks during wash cycles.

  • Signs of Wear: Visible cracks, warping, or water pooling on the floor.

5. Drain Pump and Drain Hose

  • Purpose: Removes dirty water from the tub at the end of each cycle.

  • Signs of Wear: Standing water after a cycle, strange noises, or leaks from the drain area.

6. Control Board

  • Purpose: Acts as the “brain” of the dishwasher, managing cycles and functions.

  • Signs of Wear: Unresponsive controls, error codes, or inconsistent cycle completion.

Benefits of Using OEM LG Parts

  • Perfect Fit: OEM parts are designed specifically for your LG dishwasher model.

  • Better Performance: Ensures the appliance operates as intended.

  • Longevity: Reduces the need for frequent replacements.

  • Warranty Protection: OEM parts often help maintain manufacturer warranty coverage.

When to Repair vs. Replace

If your LG dishwasher is less than 8 years old and only needs a part replaced, repair is often the best option. However, if repairs exceed 50% of the cost of a new unit and your dishwasher is already over a decade old, replacement may be more cost-effective.
