What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
- Type — SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE premiumA premium Signature Kitchen Suite (LG's luxury brand) built-in dishwasher — top-tier wash and near-silent operation with a heat/auto-open drying system and premium racks. Mechanically it is LG's platform (Inverter Direct Drive), so LG troubleshooting and parts apply, but it has its own concierge support.
- Drying & washTrueSteam and a strong drying system, belt-less Inverter Direct Drive motor, flexible racks; rinse aid still helps plastics.
- Serviced like an LGLG diagnostics and parts for the equivalent model apply, and the fault codes are LG's. The differences are the finish, the racks and the Signature Kitchen Suite concierge support.
- TrueSteamTrueSteam uses steam during part of the cycle to loosen soil and to help with drying. A cycle with TrueSteam runs longer and warms the door.
- DryingThe auto-open drying system releases steam at the end. Rinse aid still helps plastics, and the door opening at the end is deliberate.
- CodesIE, OE, FE, AE, dE and tE are LG's codes for fill, drain, overfill, leak, door and heater or thermistor faults. Note the code before disconnecting power.
- Filter and armsA manual filter at the tub floor and the spray arms govern cleaning; a clogged filter also causes odor.
- Finding the model numberLG lists the real full model as SKSDW2401S; the label is on the inside edge of the door.
- Concierge supportSignature Kitchen Suite owners have a concierge service for support and repair. Have the full model SKSDW2401S, the serial number and a description of the problem ready, and note any code on the display, because the service uses LG's fault codes.
- A built-in installationA built-in dishwasher sits behind a custom panel in a run of cabinets. Check that the toe kick is secure and that the supply and drain connections behind it are tight, because most apparent faults are connection or power matters in this kind of installation.
