A: I had the same problem too after a few weeks of install. I find that gently pulling out the middle rack all the way out helps to reset the drawers and allowing it to slide all the way back so that I can close the door.
Q: Is this unit supposed to ship with the sound insulation? They forgot it and it’s LOUD.
A: There should be a thick sound insulation blanket over the top and sides of the washer, our washer is unbelievably QUIET-much more quiet than dishwasher we’ve ever owned, including Bosch and Kitchen Aid.

Q: Can you place plastic items on the bottom rack, or will the dry boost melt plastic items?
A: I put plastic cover for covering food in the microwave on the bottom rack with no problem.
A: The green light will light after cycle is complete. The red light will light if there is some sort of error in addition to an error code being displayed where the cycle time would normally be displayed. As far as the other light I dont know since I have never seen that one.
Q: Does this model LDTH7972S have the auto open feature
A: No, but it does have a "night dry" function which circulates air if the dishwasher will remain closed for hours after cycle completion. Dishes and plastics come out dry and fresh.
A: The light times out and turns off. There is also a "night dry" function which circulates fresh air after cycle completion so you don’t have to open the door if you don’t want to. Dishes and even plastics come out dry and fresh.

This is the quietest dispatcher I've ever owned and the dishes come out very clean. The only questionable performance area is the third tray at the very top. I love that there is a light that turns on when you open the door like a refrigerator.

The top rack comes in handy for spatulas, etc. & the inside light on this dishwasher is useful. It does a good job of cleaning the dishes & spots are not an issue if you choose the dry boost x3 cycle & use a rinse agent. It’s not as quiet while running as our previous Kitchen Aid. You can definitely hear it while it’s running, but certainly not loud either. It has a really sleek appearance & the fingerprint- proof finish is great. The handle matches my LG French door refrigerator perfectly & the dishwasher controls are nicely hidden when the door is closed. A tiny green light appears when the cycle is complete.
