No verified model list is available for this code
A manufacturer code/support source may be available, but no exact supported model has been documented for this record. Do not treat the code as a model-specific diagnosis without checking the manual.
Verify the full model number against the manufacturer manual.
Open manufacturer sourceWhat does this code mean?
On LG dishwashers, bE indicates excess foam, not a stuck key.
Source scope: Compatibility with specific model numbers has not been established. Always check your exact appliance manual.
This code and broad meaning appear in manufacturer support material. Applicability to your exact model is not yet proven. Confirm your full model designation in the official manual.
Open manufacturer sourceWhat can you try?
- 01
Identify the cause of excessive suds
Confirm that the detergent matches the appliance and that the dose was not excessive. Hand dish soap can cause dangerous foam in a dishwasher.
What the result means: Do not add more detergent; stop if foaming causes leakage.
- 02
Rinse only as directed by your manual
If there is no ongoing leak, use the detergent-free rinse or cleaning program recommended for your model. Check the dispenser and correct dose.
What the result means: Persistent errors after foam clears may require service.
- 03
Prepare precise notes for the technician
Provide the code, model number, stage of the program, sounds and any leak. Avoid opening a warranty-covered appliance or authorizing replacements without diagnosis.
What the result means: A technician can test components rather than guessing from the code.
Stop immediately for leaks, smoke, burning smell or electrical danger. For gas leaks, leave the area and call local emergency services.
How do you actually fix this?
Start with safe checks. Some codes have no safe home fix; in that case we explain what the professional repair actually involves.
Practical fixes you can try
- Stop adding detergent and let excess suds settle after the cycle stops. Never restart a leaking appliance.
- Use only detergent formulated for your type of automatic washer or dishwasher and reduce the amount to match load and water hardness. Do not use hand dish soap in a dishwasher.
- If the manufacturer permits, run a no-detergent rinse/drain cycle and check that the foam is gone; treat any overflow as a leak risk.
If it persists, how is it actually repaired?
If foaming continues with correct detergent, a technician checks dispensing, level sensing and drainage. Parts are not replaced solely because foam occurred.
How do you know it is fixed? Normal cycles should finish without excessive foam or interrupted draining/spinning.
Safety and warranty: Warranty terms depend on manufacturer, model and local law. Damage caused by unauthorised disassembly or improper repair may be excluded. Live electrical work, gas, refrigerant circuits and sealed cabinets require qualified professionals; this is not a DIY instruction for those tasks.
Evidence: The manufacturer link above supports the broad code meaning. The repair pathway is a general technical diagnostic explanation, not a confirmed failed-part diagnosis for every model.
