Error Ne is not listed in the Owner Manual and most Service Manuals. This error happened during the forced/shoving of the dishwasher into the counter space. MICROSWITCH (3W40025C) (which "tells" the Main Board the position of the Vario/Stepping Motor) was damaged by the copper water line.

Error of "nE" will trigger if the Main Board doesn't receive confirmation that the position of the Microswitch has changed.

To fix this, removed the dishwasher. And then install new Micro Switch and Stainless Steel Flex Water Line.

Please refer to the link below:

LG Dishwasher Installation

Slide the flexible stainless steel water line or copper tube into the elbow after fitting the elbow into the inlet valve.

NOTE: Using solid copper for a water line (with tall tub dishwashers) is not practical for installations nor allow ease-of-service at some point later.
