- Features
- Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
- Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)

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: What are the packaged dimensions? Like before it’s taken out of the box.
A: Hello there! Thank you for your inquiry. We're happy to provide you with the packaging or carton dimensions of the LG LDTH7972S. The dimensions are 28" x 34 3/4" x 29 5/8" (in) for width, height, and depth respectively. Additionally, the shipping weight of the product is 109.13 lbs. We hope this information is helpful to you! - Shae
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.
Q: Can I change the front panel and put a custom one (wood panel to match the rest of my kitchen) ?
A: No
A: I thought it was one year. It's not 5 years. Only Miele provides a decent Warranty. BB doesn't sell them.
Q: Does this dishwasher fully dry dishes after the cycle?
A: Depends upon the settings you chose.

Fantastic dishwasher
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.

Best dishwasher!
This dishwasher is very elegant as well as efficient. I love how you can fit so many dishes inside. I especially love the top rack that is made specifically for utensils. The lights inside are a great addition as well. Dishes come out clean and dry every time. I can wash quickly in 1 hr! I highly recommend this LG dishwasher.

Great for us - puzzled by negative reviews!
I had a lot of trepidation about a dishwasher purchase after reading the reviews of various across multiple retailer websites, including this very model. I read a lot of complaints about this dishwasher’s ability to thoroughly dry the dishes, the noise level, unclean dishes and error messages. I am happy to report that this far, I thoroughly disagree with the negative reviews. Noise Level: Our previous Kitchen Aid dishwasher was 14 years old, and our new LG is significantly quieter. We installed the sound buffer under the stainless toe kick, both packaged with the dishwasher. We did note that the noise level of the 1-hour wash and heavy wash cycles were slightly higher than a normal wash cycle. Drying Capability: Our old KitchenAid had incredible drying capability, and we feel the new LG is comparable; again, we’re puzzled by the negative reviews. We’re cautious to tilt dishes down to avoid water collection, and the few times a bowl or tray was left tilted up, naturally and understandably, there was water collection. We usually run the dishwasher when we head to bed, so we also don’t usually unload immediately, albeit, we have a few times and the drying capability met our expectations. Dish Cleanliness: We always rinse dishes before loading into the dishwasher and never load dishes with dried on food, and thus far, no issues with unclean dishes. We’ve even tested it with a very light rinse with some visible food residue, and still, the dishes were clean once the cycle was complete. Error Codes: We’re a little over 30-days in with no error codes to date. Other Features We Like: The dishwasher is connected to wifi, so we receive notifications on our phone when the cycle is complete, and to remind us to add JetDry if running low. In the app, we can even change the end cycle tune :) We also LOVE the top rack for low profile items like knives, utensils or container lids. Overall, we’re very pleased with our purchase. For reference, we’ve had our new LG for just over a month. We purchased the Geek Squad protection in the event that we needed it, which had better feedback than competitor appliance retailers’ customer service.
