Yes you can add to the hose. Just make sure there are no leaks.
SOURCE: LG Dishwasher LDS5811ST 1E error code
I had a LG certified repairman come out and fix. The electrical wires within the door were melted into the "tar" (sound deafening spray) and one wire actualy sheered. Apparently the drying cycle heats the tar and the wires become embeded and melt into the tar. This is what was causing the error code. After the wire was tested and spliced everything worked great. Long term...The door/electrical harness was replaced by LG.

Provided you are reasonably handy and careful you may be able to replace it yourself. I have done so on a couple myself. You just need to go slowly and carefully. Always turn the unit off and disconnect from the power before you do anything.
Firstly
you will need to remove the bottom drawer and dry out the flood sensor. You need to pull the drawer out fully and then activate the tabs on the
left and right side at the bottom front of the drawer to move in move
it out further and off the tracks.
Make sure you have some towels on
the floor in front of the unit. Once you have the drawer out lay it on
it's right side on top of the towels. There will be an amount of water
still in the unit which will likely drain onto the towels as you do so.
Now you will be able to see into the drawer cavity, preferably with a
torch, and also see the flood sensor on the rear left hand side. You
should also notice a fair bit of water in the bottom of the cavity. As
you've made sure the power is off, you can mop up the water.
The
plastic cover over the flood sensor can be gently removed by pressing
down and sliding it to the right. Once the cover is off you can again
mop up the excess water before using a hairdryer to fully dry the flood
sensor out. Don't put the hairdryer too close to the flood sensor, just
let the warm air slowly dry things out over a 10-15min period.
You are a couple of steps ahead as you know which is the offending drawer with the broken drainage hose.. This is quite a fiddly/delicate job to remove the old one. Note:
You can only get a replacement hose from an authorised parts supplier.
This is due to the narrow diameter of the hose and the coupling which
joins the pump under the drawer. Before you throw the old one out, make
sure you remove the small rubber valve. It would appear to prevent
backflow into the pump and is not supplied with the replacement.
I
didn't totally remove the clear housing from the motor assembly, but was
able to remove it part way and gently open it enough to get the old
hose out. There are tabs at various points around the clear housing which you need to open just enough to get the hose out. In order to more easily complete the fit of the new hose, you will have to carefully remove the whole unit from the wall cavity.
Make sure you disconnect the inlet hose, power and drainage hoses under
your sink. This allows the unit to move freely from the cavity without
damaging anything. There are four securing tabs inside the bottom
drawer cavity behind the sound insulation which need to be removed to do this. (All quite clear in
the instruction manual).
If you are at this stage I would also
recommend installing the 'retro fit linkage support'. It is much more
practical and robust when compared to the plastic one the originally
came with the unit. It has a metal rod and a mount that fits into the
corner of the draw cavity. Makes much more sense than the plastic rod
that came with the units I've repaired.
Once you've replaced the hose and put the new linkage support on you should minimise the chances of the hose kinking and splitting again.
Good luck and remember if in doubt get a technician out to do the job.
