Fit more dishes in every load and be confident they’ll come out sparkling. LG's QuadWash four powerful spray arms clean from multiple angles to get dishes clean the first time—without extra rinsing or scrubbing and Dynamic Dry provides ultimate drying performance for the finishing touch of shine. EasyRack Plus and customizable tines easily make room for tall stemware above or oversized pans below. And with 48 LoDecibel quiet operation, you can run the dishwasher whenever you want.
QuadWash Technnology
LG’s exclusive QuadWash technology gets dishes clean the first time. With four spray arms instead of just two, QuadWash uses Multi-Motion arms that rotate back and forth while spinning to power-clean dishes from multiple angles throughout the entire cycle.
Dynamic Dry Technology
Drying clean dishes by hand just to be able to unload the dishwasher is a huge time suck—but not anymore. Dynamic Dry technology on all LG dishwashers uses a 2-stage drying system for faster, more complete drying.
The high-temp final rinse heats dishes while the stainless interior cools and pulls moisture away. A fan in the door then vents the warm, moist air and draws in dry, exterior air. So you get drier dishes and more time back in your day.
EasyRack Plus
EasyRack Plus lets you fit more dishes, run fewer loads and make short work of after-dinner cleanup. With three height settings, the upper rack adjusts effortlessly and smoothly to make room for tall stemware on top or oversize pans below.
Customizable tines offer greater flexibility for loading dishes of all shapes and sizes without compromising cleaning performance.
Third Rack
From flatware to long-handled utensils to mini tart pans, items that may otherwise need to be washed by hand finally have their place in the dishwasher. The convenient 3rd rack holds more items so you can save time and wash fewer loads.
PrintProof Finish
PrintProof finish resists fingerprints and smudges to keep your kitchen looking its best. All the things you love about stainless steel appliances - the premium look, professional-grade durability - without needing special cleaners or constant attention.
Front Control Panel With LED Display
The control panel is conveniently placed on the front of the dishwasher for immediate access to every feature and setting. And with the easy-to-read LED display, you can check the status of your dishes with just a glance.
LoDecibel Operation (48 dB)
Run the dishwasher whenever you want—day or night. The 48 dB cleaning cycle is whisper-quiet, so you won’t worry about interrupting post-dinner-party conversations or naptime. Especially important for homes with open floor plans where sound readily travels.
NFC Tag On Technology
What if you could customize your washer or dryer so it only has the cycles you want? LG’s NFC Tag-On technology lets you download new cycles directly from your smartphone. Download the app, select your new cycle and touch, or “tag,” your LG appliance to download your selection.
What else can NFC Tag-On do? From one-touch cycle options that help you choose the right setting to instant solutions to your troubleshooting questions, LG puts smarter, simpler dishwashing in the palm of your hand.
10-Year Warranty on Inverter Direct Drive Motor
LG’s efficient Inverter Direct Drive motor has fewer moving parts and no belts for powerful cleaning that uses less energy and saves you money. It performs so reliably it’s backed by a 10-year limited warranty for added peace of mind.

Q: QuestionIs there an easily removable food strainer or does it have to be unscrewed?(2 answers)
A: AnswerRemove the lower rack and position the bottom spray arm so a wider vee is open to the front. Turn the inner filter counter-clockwise and take out the assembled inner filter and stainless steel filter. With the filters removed, check the sump opening and remove any foreign materials, if needed. Clean the filters with a soft brush under running water. Reassemble the filters before reinstalling them. To replace the assembled filters, position the spray arm so the wider vee is toward the front. Fit the filters back into the filter holder and secure them by turning the inner filter clockwise until it clicks into place. ^DaphaneAnswered by LG Digital Customer Care

- A: AnswerThis LG dishwasher comes with a black metal kickplate held in place with two screws.
Answered by Neubanks
- A: AnswerI can't speak to the other model you're comparing it to but if you use Rinse Aid and set the machine for the Extra Dry cycle AND load it properly so that water collectable basins on your dishes face down as much as possible the machine seems to do well, No machine has ever been perfect and plastic is a problem for all dishwashers as are oddly shaped dishes that allow water pools in multiple places. Unload at the bottom first so the upper rack doesn't splash to the bottom and just try not to overload the machine and I think it will be fine. What towel drying I have had to do hasn't bothered me so far.
Answered by Jack
Q: QuestionDoes this have a hard food disposal?(2 answers)
A: AnswerNo, this unit does not have a hard food disposal. The dishwasher can be connected via the drain hose to the garbage disposal. ^DaphaneAnswered by LG Digital Customer Care
Q: QuestionWhere are the water spray arms located?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThe water spray arms are below the upper rack (not the 3rd utensil rack at very top) and also below the lower rack. Thanks!Answered by Copper
Q: QuestionDo the dishwasher light up when running?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe dishwasher has an electronic timer which lights up and let’s you know how long your cycle will run. It counts down and remains lit while you are running the dishwasher.Answered by WallyWorld
- A: AnswerGreat question! For your reference the NSF certification, the steam model dishwashers the NSF is tested during the steam function, for non-steam models the NSF is tested during the high temp cycle. If the high temp option is added to the cycle, the indicator light will stay lit while the temperature get to 150 degrees and the dishes are properly sanitized. ^Jennifer

A new dishwasher after 28 years!
This LG is very quiet compared to our previous "quiet" unit. The top rack is functional for silverware and the middle rack is adjustable up or down. This Energy Star unit takes a bit longer to operate a cycle, but it does wash fine. Drying is good but being energy efficient, not super hot or fast. OK. The install, OMG, with front connections the lines and cords need to be extra LONG and you have to be a magician to keep from running them over as you back in the unit. Be aware of this as many standard install kits won't have long enough items. Front connections may seem like a neat thing but they are a pain. One star off for that design flaw. The bottom front panel is adjustable to flush up with the floor for a clean install look. Unit comes packages extremely well. Operational features are nice with front facing controls. No need to open the door to get to control panel. Lower silverware tray is redundant to upper rack and has been removed to make more room for dish wares. So far, no operational issues and really enjoying the quiet. We hope this one will last as long as the one it replaced.

Excellent dishwasher, with unique features.
I have had this wonderful dishwasher for almost 4 weeks, and I could not be more satisfied. It appears to be well made, so I anticipate being extremely satisfied. Some interesting details: it is very quiet—not silent, but quiet enough that it’s not annoying even when I’m in the kitchen. It’s very efficient and cleans even baked on food—with a caveat: the instructions MUST be followed! I usually use it’s “automatic” cycle, which sets its functions to do it’s thing in the best way. But that doesn’t work on baked on food. The instructions have the solution! They recommend doing a rinse cycle after putting the baked on dishes in the washer. It’s only 12 minutes, without soap, and there’s no drying—everything stays damp literally all day if that’s done in the morning before doing a normal “automatic” wash cycle. And then, presto, everything comes out clean as a whistle. Wow! So believe the instructions. The instructions also insist that a liquid rinse aid MUST be used. And that’s also true, because the drying cycle is different from every other dishwasher. There is no heating element, only a fan and time. So I run the “automatic” cycle at night before going to bed, and I set “overnight dry”, which is a form of extra dry. In the morning, the dishes are spotlessly clean, and they are completely dry. Wow! Besides the “rinse” and “automatic” settings, I have used the “heavy” setting once, to wash the grids from my gas range. Wow again! They came out absolutely clean. Incidentally, I installed the dishwasher myself. The installation instructions are clear and easy to follow. The only difficulty I had was that the old dishwasher had been installed with truly cobbled plumbing, which I had to remove before doing it right. I’m not a plumber, so that took some effort. Also, because there’s not a lot of room under the dishwasher because of its large cavity, I’m glad I have small fingers to connect the plumbing and electricity. Lastly, I have to complement the guys who brought it. Just like every other appliance I have purchased from Best Buy, it was delivered early—scheduled for 2 to 6, and delivered shortly after noon, and they brought it in carefully. Great service!

It’s just fine
We purchased this dishwasher to replace our leaky Samsung dishwasher (for the love of god, avoid Samsung appliances) PROS: - Wash Quality: Does a great job washing the dishes. - Quiet Operation: It’s not silent, but it’s much quieter than our Samsung was. - Third Rack: Nice to be able to put silverware up there and not take up the extra room down below. CONS - Non-Existent Drying: This dishwasher DOES NOT dry your dishes. A rinse aid helps a little, but expect to have to keep your dishwasher open after it’s done to let them air dry. - Installation: The contractor Best Buy used for installation tried to upsell us on everything. Quite annoying as we already paid for installation. Overall, this dishwasher is fine. Not bad, but not great. Can’t comment on longevity yet as we’ve only had it for about a week.
