Ne Error Code For Lg Dishwaster
Every time the dishwasher finishes a cycle it flashes *nE.....the dishes seem to be clean but I don't know what this code means.

We have only had dishwater for 13 months. This is crazy. We have warrenty through Nebraska Furniture Mart, so giving them a call tomorrow.

If you contact LG they will tell you that this error code does not exist. Likewise you will not find it in a repair manual. I just fixed this on my LDS5040ST dishwasher but I imagine it is similar for other models.
In order to get full water pressure to both the top and bottom spray wands, there is a small diverter motor which turns a valve to send all the water to each wand alternatively. If the system does not get feedback that the valve is turning you will get the nE error code on the display after each cycle.
The issue is either the microswitch which tells the system the location of the valve or the motor which operates the valve is no longer turning. In my case it was the motor. This motor is protected by a single seal which if it were to fail would allow water to leak down on the motor and fry it. The motor in my case was part number 4681ED3001D. Cost was about $16 and installation is simple. RepairClinic even has a video you can watch to see that motor being changed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvlYtWOIEBA

Yay....The Diverter Motor was the LG nE dishwasher code answer for me too-dirty dishes -residue in the cups and glasses. I followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvlYtWOIEBA and ordered from repair clinic. This took me about 45 minutes and the part only costs about $10 http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Diverter-Motor/4681ED3001D/2020847.

The Vario Motor Spray (4681ED3001D) was the answer for me as well.
After buying it I followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvlYtWOIEBA in order to replace it, and it worked.

The Ne code refers to a lower washer arm motor malfunction, this happen to my just over a year old unit. At first LG would only cover the cost of the parts, till I asked for a division head to explain to me why a 675.00 unit failed after only one year. When the technician came out, he also installed a new mother board. So they must be having problems with that also. I asked why, and he quickly changed the subject.
