bE LG dishwasher error bE — too much foam

What it means

If your LG dishwasher shows bE: the appliance has detected excess foam and stopped or added extra rinses.

Likely causes

Too much or the wrong (hand-wash) detergent, soft water, partially blocked drain.

Safe steps you can try

Use less detergent and only products for automatic machines. Wait for the foam to settle and clean the drain filter.

When to call a technician

If it happens with a normal dose, the drain system and level sensor should be checked.
