In our area only residents can apply for an on street parking, there is simply no parking for people other than those that live in the area, who have a business based in the area and their visitors. 

Your idea that they must organise it and pay for it up front is simply wrong and would be frustrated in our area because it's impossible to do so. 

If you are claiming under the Consumer Rights Act, rather than warranty, you can potentially add the cost of parking to the claim against the retailer but may have to arrange it and pay for it up front. 

You haven't definitively stated that you bought it from LG, if you bought it from someone else then your references to the CRA is totally wrong, those rights only exist with the retailer and the merchant would be bound by the terms of their warranty which can pretty much say whatever it wants. 

Yes , I bought it from LG who is a retailer and the manufacturer at the same time.

But my warranty doesn't say I have to pay for parking if the appliance is malfunctioning.

Does it say that they will pay for any parking charges?

Did you inform them that there are parking restrictions at your location?
Imagine if you were the repair person, only to turn up to find you had to pay £18 to park. How would you feel?

I assume the CRA 2015 , section 23 is above their own internal warranty and they have to pay for parking not to cause the inconvenience for the customer.

I didn't know I have to inform them about resident parking restricted area, I thought they can park on the street nearby. When the engineer refused, I said him about free parking Street nearby, and about my wife watching his van, he refused. Then I said to LG and Pacifica repair service about that.

I assume, Pacifica who hire self-employment engineers, they cover parking dispensation costs, or they ask the engineer to cover, or they don't do repairs services to customers who live in such areas in the first place.

All contractors who came before didn't bother about parking, internet engineer, electric, plumber, builder, landlord, electricity/gas supply engineer... All of them didn't even ask for parking.

You know what they about making assumptions? Ask ChatGPT if you don't.

And what has happened before is totally irrelevant.

As others have said, you are being ridiculous, spurred on by nonsence from AI.

At least, I might try and do it in real life, I would just waste my time and energy, and won't trust ChatGPT at all (I use Gemini), and it is okay to make mistakes, and it is not okay to blame and criticise me for my mistakes.

Take a step back and start again.  Contact LG and tell them you'd like them to come and inspect the appliance so they can establish what the fault is, and that you'll organise parking.

That's all you should do at this stage.  Then come back for advice once you know if they've managed to fix it straight away or if something else is needed.  We can advise on whether warranty or consumer rights is the best approach, and what your rights are.

There are many things to stand your ground on in this world, an £18 parking charge and a dishwasher are not on that list.

Apologies in advance for this.

They are all more or less the same in this regard - don't trust any of them.

It's not that they're out to deceive you, it's that they appear more intelligent than they are.

OP clearly isn't interested in hearing any views that counter their position and instead sees this as a 'David vs Goliath' saga for justice.

Good luck with your upcoming court case OP - I envy the time you have to commit to such frivolities.

your thinking about it backwards, with a warranty things arent covered unless it states it is.

There will sadly be an influx of posts like this on the Consumer forum. I gave up reading the OP after the 2nd dump from ChatGPT. 

GPT = Garbage Paralegal Twaddle.  Maybe.

Looking at the issue from another direction.  Apologies if this has already been done. 

 In one of the posts, Notts County Council is mentioned.   I assume this is where you live. 

Has Notts County Council been contacted to ask if the Trade Parking Dispensations apply when a trader is doing a one off visit?  

Reading this link below makes me think it is meant for traders doing long term building type work rather than one off visits.  I’ve probably read it wrong but just a thought. 

https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/transport/parking/trade-parking-dispensations

Are there any Visitor Permits that can be used in this situation? 

I would suggest making contact yourself with NCC.
