LG Dishwasher AE Error - Exploring Origins, Resolutions, and Expert Fixes (Alleviate the Problem)
Published 2023-10-15
An AE error, also known as E1, is an error code that indicates a leakage inside the dishwasher. This leakage activates the float switch, whose function is to measure the water level in the dishwasher to tell whether there is more or less water than the ideal amount. In this case, the error, prompted by the float switch, indicates an excess amount of water, which indicates a leakage.
The following are some of the causes of an AE error:
Using too much or the wrong detergent
Dishwasher users are instructed to use High-Efficiency detergents only.
Float switch fault
An error code may occur due to a fault in the fault switch.
Defective door gasket
The door gasket is a seal around the door. Its primary function is to stop water from leaking out. If defective, a leak may occur.
Clogged or misplaced spray arms
The primary function of the dishwasher’s spray arms is to spray water to clean the dishes.

one of the arms came off and tripped the error. we got the arm back on but the error won't reset, even after leaving it off at the breaker for a while, what an infernal piece of crap.

There is a pan on the bottom of the dishwasher that will hold water in case of a leak. That's where the sensor is as well. If water gets in there, you need to pull the dishwasher out (first turn off the breaker obviously) and dry it out with a sponge / paper towel. You can reach olin from the sides
