Q: QuestionDoes this dishwasher have the side pieces that flip down to hold wine glasses?

Asked 4 years ago by CherylB.

• A:Answer Model LDFN4542S does not have a special rack to long stem glassware. Place cups and glasses in the rows between the rack tines. Placing them over the rack tines can lead to breakage and water spots. To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. ^Daphane

Q: QuestionIs there a heating element in the bottom of this model? I'd like to be able to put plastics on any rack, like my friend's Bosch allows. Is this model "top rack only" for plastics?

• A:Answer This efficient drying system does not use a heating element during the drying process resulting in superior energy efficiency and gentle care for dishes. It is to use a liquid rinse aid improves drying performance by allowing water to drain off of dishes after final rinse. Use the upper rack for small or delicate items such as small plates, cups, saucers, glasses, and dishwasher-safe plastic items. In general, do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations. ^Daphane

Q: QuestionHow often does the food strainer need to be cleaned on the LDFN4542S?

Asked 4 years ago by roadrunner.

• A:Answer For best wash performance, clean the filter after each load. If food debris remains in the filter, it may cause an odor. • In areas with hard water, clean the filter at least once a month with a soft brush. • Clean the filters using non-abrasive materials and warm running water. ^Daphane

Q: QuestionIs there supposed to be a spray arm on the top of this dishwasher above the utensil rack, or is it now an armless sprayer instead? My old LG dishwasher had an actual spray arm located there. This new one does not have one. Just curious.

• A:Answer Yes this unit does have a sprayer at the bottom of the rack. However, it is not the older model with the spray arms the sprayer mount is smaller and round to prevent food and rust getting stuck in them. This a feature to have less maintenance and an effective dishwashing cycle every time .^Tanisha

Q: QuestionIs the third rack removable? In other words, can you take it out when not needed and put back in when needed?

Asked 3 years ago by Charlie53.

This question was asked about the related product: LG - 24" Front Control Built-In Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher with 3rd Rack, QuadWash, and 48dba - Black

• A:Answer Yes. But you can just leave it in too. I’ve only used mine once so far. At first the taller glasses wouldn’t fit with the 3rd rack in, but all I did was lower the 2nd rack one level, and now they fit without having to take the top rack out.
