My LG dishwasher has run fine for 4 years, until it gave an OE error about 2 weeks ago. Manual said OE was "Drain error" Shake drain hose, be sure it isn't kinked. The drain hose had fallen down under sink where it connected to disposal. I hooked it back up and it worked again for about 1 week. Then after starting normal wash cycle, after 1 minute it dinged and displayed IE error. Manual said check supply line, be sure water turned on, check filter on intake valve. All looked good.
I installed a new supply hose, replaced the inlet valve, and the guide assembly (Float assembly with Air Breaker) on side of machine, but it still gives error IE or 1E.
I know there is water to the intake valve.
Funny thing is the owners manual states that this IE error occurs when the DW has run for 10 minutes and the fill level has not been reached.
The IE error comes on and machine stops AFTER ONLY 1 MINUTE of the cycle.
I ran the "Program Check" using the service manual and noted the following-
Manual said when starting check mode it would Display U2/H3 but it displays U3/H3
It goes through check mode fine for the first half, but when I get to
Press Delay Time once it reads "0"0 (first zero flashing),instead of 31
Also for inlet valve it reads 00,
Then it goes through the rest OK, Thermistor reads 26.
When it gets to 3b it's OK, but after that repeated pressing of "delay" it will never change past that to 3c, or Auto off.
By OK I mean the proper lights on control panel illuminate as it says in manual.
Any help?

Hooray!!!!
I fixed the LG Dishwasher tonight. Thanks to a couple old Posts somewhere on this forum.
I read that at least 2 others had found broken wires inside the door of their LG dishwasher.
One person mentioned that they found the broken wires buried in the gummy insulation inside the door.
That is exactly what I found.
Crossing my fingers, but the dishwasher is fixed.
All of the controls are located in the door.
I took off the door and examined the main wiring harness and found 3 totally broken wires!
And 2 more were barely hanging on and 1 had cracked insulation to where I could see the conductor but it looked like conductor was in good shape.
The wires had been buried in some black gummy insulation and each wire was broken where it was buried in gummy 4 of them were bent at right angles inside the gummy.
I had read onlin that someone else found broken wires inside the door on a similar LG model.
Any way I soldered up the wires, added some shrink tube, wrapped up with some electric tape.
Started it up and its purring like a kitten.
Ahhh Lifes Good
Dang LG
