I keep getting an E1 error on my LG LD-2120W model dishwasher, can you advise what this means so l can either fix it or get it fixed. Thank you

E1 is theoretically a water leak in the machine but could also be a faulty sensor or a dodgy pump. I have had endless problems with my pump - the non replaceable seal in the pump housing failed and this caused water to get into the motor ball bearing that also failed. The bearing is no probem and easily available but the pump is a sealed unit and cannot be mended. I've just tried making a seal - ideally the size is 12mm OD and 8mm ID but not available - so I modified a car valve stem seal, without the steel spring that would rust and I'll see how long that lasts.
