Loving it!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am loving my new dishwasher! I've never had a dishwasher with a 3rd rack, so I must say, it's pretty handy. Also, the regular top rack is adjustable in height (a few inches). The fingerprint-resistant stainless steel is also nice. So far, no problems!

I would recommend this to a friendGood if you dont get a dented one
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First one came completely dented and unusabled. The box was fine so it obviously left the factory like that. Second one seems good
I would recommend this to a friendOver a year and still happy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very happy with this dishwasher. I purchased this to replace an old one and this hasn't disappointed.
I would recommend this to a friendBetter than the black painted one we replaced

I would recommend this to a friendLG 24" Front Control Dishwasher not a Best Buy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, this was not a best buy for our family. Always struggled with getting the the dinnerware plates to stand up and the drying power was not that great too. Always ends up with water after an over night drying setting. I would not recommend this product. This was probably the reason why it was on sale in the first place.

Motherboard problem
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have owned the dishwasher model LDFN4542S for less than 2 years, and had to pay LG $343.85 just to come out and look at it. The motherboard malfunctions on many models. LG has been aware of the problem for years, see “Wheeler vs. LG”. Unacceptable. Will not buy this brand again.

LEMON and LG Won't Refund Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it works, it's great. It worked well the 1st 3 months. It took a month to get it installed. I've had this dishwasher for 11 months. It's been working less than half of that. Between the initial phone call, the 1st visit, waiting for the ordered part, finding a date to install the part only to try again - order a different part, wait for it, install it - the "repairs" can take 4 weeks to 2.5 months to take place! Give it another 2-3 weeks & it breaks down again! No chance for a return via Best Buy & LG refuses to back up their warrantee either. My suggestion: buy a cheaper dishwasher that works & avoid this one! GOOD LUCK.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised. Easy loading and a lot of spay. I especially like the flatware feature.
I would recommend this to a friendBest Buy Installers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The installers that came on Friday 5/12/2023 were extremely professional and knowledgeable. They were able to address plumbing and electric and got the dishwasher installed and functional.

Do not buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The control panel is very finicky and requires multiple taps to turn on. I have run the dishwasher on normal and auto and it does not clean. It does not matter if the dishes have been rinsed first or not, and it still does not clean. If I had not had to pay so much for a plumber to install it, I would return it. I am not really sure how I will live with this thing for the next few years.

Posted .Hi, FotiosM. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We understand the importance of having a unit that cleans effectively and operates at a comfortable noise level, especially when the wash cycle sounds louder than expected, and the button tones feel too strong.
Try running the dishwasher without the High Temp and Extra Dry options, as they can increase noise. You can adjust the chime volume in Settings > Volume on the control panel. For cleaning tips, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-not-cleaning--20151094745547. If you need further assistance, email us at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible racks and it takes over 3 hours to wash a simple light load of dishes. Very disappointed but it does seem to clean well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Disappointing
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Starting with a salesperson standing over us the whole time and then told us LG is the best. When we got it it took forever to get it hooked up, the racks aren't spaced right so it's hard to load the dishwasher and on extra dry the bottom tray will dry but the other 2 racks are still wet. I really wish we would have stuck with whirlpool.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat dishwasher but rude delivery guy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Oksy so I LOVE my new dishwasher! However, the delivery guy refused to wear a mask. We have 2 small kids and he refused after asking several times. Best Buy states that these people can wear one upon request.
