LG Dishwasher 01–24 (Delay Start) error code
A two-digit number from 01 to 24 on your LG dishwasher display is not an error code. It means the Delay Start feature has been activated and the number shown represents how many hours the cycle start has been postponed. For example 03 means the cycle will begin in 3 hours. This is a normal function that lets you schedule the dishwasher to run at a later time. If you want the cycle to start immediately use the Cancel function to deactivate Delay Start.
Common causes
- Delay Start was intentionally set to run the cycle at a later time
- Delay Start was accidentally activated by pressing the wrong button
