What's Happening
The dishwasher detected oversudsing. Using regular dish soap instead of dishwasher detergent, or using too much detergent, creates excessive foam that can leak and trigger this bubble error.
How to Fix It
Cancel the current cycle and let the suds dissipate. Wipe out excess suds with a towel if needed. Restart with the correct amount of HE-rated dishwasher detergent. Never use regular hand dish soap in a dishwasher.
Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fix the bE error on my LG dishwasher?
Cancel the cycle, let suds dissipate or wipe them out, and restart with the correct amount of dishwasher-specific detergent. Never use regular dish soap.
Can I use regular dish soap in my LG dishwasher?
No. Regular dish soap creates massive suds that overflow, trigger error codes, and can damage the dishwasher. Only use detergent specifically made for dishwashers.
