LDS5811ST ((ASTEEUS)) LG Dishwasher - Instructions

I disconnected the power cord and the drain hose, with a nut driver, under the sink. I removed the bottom plate that covers the water connection under the dishwasher. With the water turned off I used an adjustable wrench to disconnect the water line. I open the door and disconnected the brackets under the counter top, with a phillips screwdriver, that hold the dishwasher in place. I pulled the dish washer out of its enclosure far enough to fully access the spring loaded mechanism to replace the "connector assembly". Then I put it all back where it belonged.. Go slowly and have patience.

Replace basket with new replacement. Ordering and shipment VERY EASY! I have used your service in the past and will continue to in the future. Shipments are fast and accurate.

Replaced filter assembly, mesh, check valve and impeller. Root cause was tears in almost all the fine mesh filters on the filter assy. 30 minutes. caution: impeller screw is left hand thread. This "top of the line" unit, although quiet and very good at cleaning, has had leaks, needed a new motor and this last repair. I've been able to do all the repairs and avoid expensive service calls as all the problems started to happen shortly after the warranty was up.

Uninstall dishwasher screws. Lay dishwasher on its side. Remove bottom plate. Remove old drain line. install new line. Test for leak. The trick was figuring out that I could only access the line through the bottom of the dishwasher.

Conclusion was that either the control panel or the noise filter (an electrical fuse apparatus)was bad. Disconnected the water line, turned off power, and pulled unit out from cabinets. Determined that voltage was going into the noise filter (white harness) but almost no voltage coming out (red harness). Ordered noise filter. Hardest part was removing old noise filter from dishwasher frame without removing the whole unit from cabinet and turning upside down.One screw holds the part in the frame. With power off, I used a very small ratchet with phillips screw driver. Pried unit out with screw driver on side to the panel front. It has a retaining tab there.Installation was the reverse. Instead of putting screw back the way it was originally installed, I screwed it in from the outside of the frame. Much easier and just as solid. Tested unit with power on. Hooked up water line. Works great. Note: LG dishwahers have a high repair rate and that this part has a high failure rate. This LG unit was two years old. Never had to fix my 15 year old Sears dishwasher. It still works to this day. (I gave it to my daughter.)

First, PartSelect is great!; fast,& accurate. 1. Inside the dishwasher: remove trays. Remove (A050) lower water sprayer from bottom by pulling up. Remove (F191) top sprayer assembly by pulling away from clip holders. Remove (M110) by removing the holding screws. This part cover the whole sump and has kind-of an open screen circling the unit. Now you will see the white plastic impeller (M120) which is attached the the motor with one Phillips head screw. WARNING. The Phillips head screw (holding the impeller in place) is a REVERSE THREADED SCREW. Turn the screw CLOCKWISE to remove it. Then remove the impeller from the motor shaft. Underneath and outside the washer: Remove the bottom plate. Finally remove the motor by unscrewing the four holding screws and electrical wiring.

Disconnected power. Removed washer top; only 2 screws in back. Disconnected two wire connectors on Filter Assembly Circuit. Removed assembly; 1 screw. Installed new assembly, reconnected wires, and replaced washer top.

These were a simple snap on item. It took longer to carry the parts from the porch that to install. Recently purchased house. Rollers were missing due to overload?? Removed the remaining roller pieces. Cleaned and straightened the axle shafts, spray lubed the tray and snapped the new pieces in place.

parts were not exact match with original, even though ordered from schematic. had to bend the replacement part slightly so it would fit into holder pieces. this took about 10 minutes as I was trying to be careful not to break/cut the coating (which would then lead to rust again). Once the piece was bent, just snapped the rack into place.

Pried old rollers with screwdriver. pushed (or 'pliered' new rollers, after straightening gudie pins, if necessary. One new roller broke a minute after installation, but I ordered extras because 6 odl rollers had alread broken), so we're OK for another year or so...

The connector assembly connects to a spring to hold the door from falling down. You need to disconnect the power cord, the water line and the drain hose before you move the dishwasher out the kitchen counter. There are several screws that hols the dishwasher in place top, side and bottom. Removed all screws then pull the dishwasher out very slow. Take the side panel by un-screwing all the screws around the panel in my case where five screws (two in the front so you have to open the door to get to them). You need to keep the door down to connect the assembly to the door bracket and the go through the pulley then to the spring, very easy. Put the side panel back and push the dishwasher in place use the same screws and reconnect the hose the water line and the power and you are done.

Be sure to order extra rolled with axles. The clips the snap on to the top rack are delicate and I broke two of them putting them in place. Be sure to snug them on slowly and carefully, it seems that the soap scum buildup on the rack creates additional friction. This friction makes you need to push the part on harder, and when you do it snaps on too hrs and one side of the clip will break off.

Check the motor and discovered roughness when you turned the shaft. I assume there was a bearing problem. I ordered a new motor from part select and upon the replacement washer is working great! Thanks part select, my part arrived in a timely manner and you guys saved me approx. $500. Thanx again. Richard Sansom

removing the dishwasher from under the counter I accidentally broke the mounting braket, to investigate/discover the door lift cord had frayed and broken. Parts were easy to locate and the costomer service was friendly. Installation was a breeze and perfectly intuitive. Not a Problem. thanks for being there, hiring a repairman would have been expensive.

went online with model number, looked up appliance exploded view on your site and ordered parts. parts came the next day. second time we have ordered from you. you rock!
