Control Panel lights started flashing like a lightswitch rave, dishwasher stopped working
This is apparently a widely known issue for LG, and since their call center was closed due to Coronavirus, I had no luck getting them to cover the repair. Not wanting to wait weeks of months for them to get off their duffs, I ordered the part and unscrewed the six screws holding the control panel on and unplugged the old part, plugged in the new part, and replaced the screws.
Works great now.

Loud noise when running - the infamous bad drive motor
Replacing this pump is pretty easy. Disconnect the power and drain hose, and pull your dishwasher out from the counter. Lay it on its side on a towel. There WILL be spillage. Disconnecting the pump is simple. There are a couple hoses, one single wire connection (the thermistor) and one multi-wire plug. The pump is held in place by a pair of thick rubber holders which can be pulled off by hand. That's it!
After removing the pump, I disassembled it to find out why these fail so soon. It's a very poor design. I found that the nose of the electric motor, where the bearings are located, sits in a plastic cup formed by the top of the pump body. Any leakage from the pump around the motor shaft will be held in place against the motor bearing. It has no place to go. This causes rusting of the bearing. I expect I'll be replacing this one in a few years. :(
But kudos to PartsSelect for getting the right pump assembly for me, after getting the wrong one from another supplier!

Dishwasher would stop during the cycle with nE code
This was my first time repairing a dishwasher. I watched YouTube on how to remove the dishwasher from the cabinet. Afterwards, I removed the bottom of the dishwasher while it was laying flat to get to the motor and micro switch. The only difficulty I had was getting to the motor which required taking the bottom section off of the dishwasher. I could not get an appliance repair company to work on an LG dishwasher. My only option was to repair the dishwasher or bought a new dishwasher. Therefore, my wife and I decided to , make an attempt to repair this one with a backup plan of buying a new one. Luckily, we were able to fix this one within two hours.
This was a $999 dishwasher. We saved the cost of a new dishwasher by taking the time to fix this one.

Second roller in on the left side was missing don't ask my how, pulling the bottom rack out the rack would dip down i had to lift it up to pull it the rest of the way out.
Ordered the roller from Parts Select, slid the roller over the little spindle sticking out of the bottom rack and snapped it in place. Job done in less than one minute.

LG control panel malfunction - Control Lock error keeps going, buttons work inconsistent
Turn off power to the system - turn breaker off or unplug. Open the door. Remove the six screws at the top. Disconnect the control panel. Connect the new panel. Restore power. Test that buttons work. Replace the screws. Very easy DIY that will save you on calling for repairs. Part came fast, easy to install. 5-10 min tops.

Erratic Dishwasher, no lights, sometimes lightshow, sometimes works
Turn off power via breaker, remove 6 screws, unplug old control panel, plug in new panel, put screws back in. Very easy. All screws are accessible with the door open.

Remove and Replace the Control Panel
Ordered the part after reading your web site about others having the same problem and that the new panel solved the problem. The panel is attached by six easy-to-remove screws. The only difficulty was with the electrical connector. The connector has a release tab you need to depress to disconnect, and the tab is not easily visible as it is on the on the back side as you hold the connector. Once I found the tab, the connector disconnected easily and also connected easily with the new part.

BOTTOM TRAY OF DISHWASHER WOULD SLIDE ALL THE WAY OUT WITH NO STOP
Was not able to see where the Stopper, Rollers ( Part # PS3523062) could be attached to the back of the bottom tray, to fix the problem. So the parts were useless.

to change the clip that holds the the upper rack the whole rail must be changed
you need to carefully apply a little pressure to the rail moving it back towards the back of the tub, this will let it unhook from the tub, then just slide the new rail into place.
