Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from LG's own guidance for FE on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the pump finish emptying the tub.
Power the machine off, switch the breaker off for 10 seconds, then back on.
Start a new cycle; if FE returns, book a visit, because the fill is not shutting off when it should.
Still there?
It usually turns into fill and water valve repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
Do not unplug the machine while the pump is removing the extra water. Let it bring the level down first.
