Recommend for sure
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. I would recommend. I prefer using the turbo feature. The cleaning and dry qualities are good. I wish it was quieter. Hopefully this will last longer than our previous dishwasher.

Broke after warranty expired (2 years)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this in November 2022 and warranty expired in November 2024. In May 2025 the motor bearing went out and the pump started having issues. If you buy this, get Best Buy Protection and extend it before the 2 years is up. We ran it 5 days a week on the longer cycle; we have 5 people in our household and so we have a full sink of dishes each day. It does not dry very well, and we routinely had to air dry the dishes or hand dry. Not sure if it was setup right but there wasnt a little front exhaust port like the Deathstar. It is very quiet though and the top rack does actually clean. I'd say the 3rd rack is not needed and you can get that space back. My sister had a GE that lasted 12 years and counting. So I am going with that for my next dishwasher.

Solid performance-decent price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far the dishes have been perfectly clean. Thae added flat top rack comes in handy for spatulas and large knives. It’s also quieter that our previous dishwasher. The control panel is a bit hard to read and wish it was on the top edge of the door as opposed to the top front, but for the price this is workable. We decided on this over many others as it has the solid option without extraneous items like bluetooth or wifi, and comes in under 650.

Great dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great dishwasher. Very quiet, to the point that I didn’t even realize it was in. I use pods and rinse aid and everything comes out spotless clean. The dishes are all dry after a completed wash cycle. Highly recommend this product

LG Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Top rack is a nice bonus for silverware and small items. Middle rack is adjustable which is nice. Simple to use. Quiet and lots of features.

Really good product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good product. My dishes are always clean, The top drawer is a game changer. Toss the silverware basket out; you dont need it with the top drawer. Folding tines on the bottom and middle rack allow for larger items. Great flexibility for dishes. - Adjustable clearance on middle rack and left side of top drawer. This allows for those taller items like water bottles. - No heating element in the bottom. This allows you to put plastic containers or dishes on the bottom rack without fear of melting. So really good product I recommend it

10 yr motor warranty worthless
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed. At about 2.5 years the dishwasher started to make a horrible noise and began leaking. And while the motor has a 10 year warranty it's $349 to have a LG technician repair. And while it's not as expensive as a new dishwasher it's still about 60% of the original cost. While I did like the dishwasher, especially the top silverware rack, I would not recommend it to my friends or family

Posted .Hi, Tonka. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand your concern about the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542B) model, especially with the noise and leaking issue after 2.5 years of use. We really aim to provide reliable, high-quality products that meet our customers' needs and expectations.
To help you out, we suggest checking the door seal and making sure there aren’t any blockages or debris causing the leak. Sometimes, a worn-out seal can lead to water leakage and those odd noises. You might also want to run a cleaning cycle to see if that helps with the noise issue since built-up debris inside the dishwasher can create some strange sounds. If you need more assistance, feel free to check out this link: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-troubleshooting-leaking-issues--1390840766052.
We know that repair costs can feel like a lot sometimes. Just drop us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and we’d love to help you out by looking into your situation and finding the best solution for you.
We’re here to make sure you’re happy with your LG appliance! ^Juvy

LG Dishwasher's the best !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal piece of equipment ! Not as easy to install as the previous LG dishwasher we replaced, it has two channels under the base, one for power, one for water supply...both of which were reverse from what I had ! Make sure to buy the "optional" install kit, which has the water supply line and power cables...always use new water supply lines ! Make sure you set aside enough time for the install !! Would definitely buy again, washes even stuck-on eggs from a spatula, drugs either super fast, or over-night. Love the delay start setting !!
