Poor rack design
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bottom rack falls off the track every time i pull it out to load the dish’s. I have already broke two plates. Thought maybe it was installed incorrectly and had a second installer come out. He remounted it but said it is just a poor design and will continue to fall off rack

..!! VERY NOISY AND DOES NOT DRY..!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review..!! I WARNING YOU.!!! that this machine does not dry the dishes because its drying system is through a fan. It is very noisy, it makes as much noise as my clothes washer, I had to return it to the store and buy one that had 39db of noise and a drying element, that is what I would recommend.

Be wary of the installation contractors.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For right now I am giving this product a 1 star review, I ordered it and scheduled the installation a week out. Today the contractors showed up and got to work removing my old dishwasher and installing this one. They then let me know that the box was damaged and saw that the drain hose was also damaged but installed it anyway. There was a leak in the obviously damaged hose and now I am stuck waiting for a new drain hose to be ordered and installed.

Posted .Hi, Nancy. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model and the upper wash arm performance you've described. This model is designed with multi-motion spray arms to ensure thorough cleaning, so we’d like to help restore its functionality.
If the upper spray arm isn’t functioning, try removing it and rinsing it under warm water to clear clogs. Ensure it’s securely attached and can spin freely.
Also, check the water inlet and circulation pump for proper water pressure to the upper arm.

Posted .Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We appreciate your feedback and understand how concerning it can be when your dishwasher leaves black residues after cleaning.
This issue could be caused by a buildup of food particles or residue in the filter or spray arms. We recommend checking and cleaning the filter regularly and ensuring the spray arms are clear of obstructions. Running a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner may also help eliminate buildup.
If you continue to experience this issue or have specific questions, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport. Our team would be more than happy to assist you further. We appreciate your patience and hope to improve your experience. ^Juvy

Selling used appliances as "new" buyer beware!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You sold me a "used" dishwasher without telling me! When my contractor removed the bubble wrap and opened it up he found dirty silverware in the upper tray! The drain hose was cut where it connects to the sink drain-now that's going to cost me another $56 dollars to replace!! It was sold to me as having "minor cosmetic imperfections" what a joke!!

Don’t purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher doesn’t make a lot of sense when you try to load it. The third upper shelf makes it difficult to load the second shelf and is useless. Only one washing cycle dries the dishes. I wish we didn’t buy it.
