LG Dishwasher 2H error code
2H is not an error code. It is a time indicator that appears on the display when the estimated remaining cycle time is less than 2 hours. Once the time drops below 99 minutes the display switches from showing 2H to counting down the actual minutes remaining until the cycle is complete. No action is needed — the dishwasher is working normally.
Common causes
