Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't care how it has you stack dishes in washer and thought the third shelf was a game changer but it wasn't
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Control panel
Stay away from this one.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One month after warranty expires (2 years), the dishwasher no longer works through a complete cycle. Front panel lights all flash and beep. As I research, this is a common problem with this LG dishwasher. Probably the Control Panel module, which is very difficult to find, probably due to the many failures on this unit. We bought this unit along with an LG Oven, and LG refrigerator, which are performing very well. Dishwasher was great until fatal failure. We will replace the dishwasher now, but not with the LG branding.

Never completely dries. Choose another.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never dries the dishes no matter the setting. When the cycle is over the top rack and the silverware caddy are wet. I have to open the unit, towel off the wet cups and glasses, then leave the door open a bit to complete drying. Cleans well in turbo mode. Very quiet.

Love 3rd rack
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, lots of options, good space. You do need to rinse your dishes before they go in, despite the instructions saying not too, but it gets a lot off.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dishes get very clean but doesn’t dry very well. Dishes are wet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from LGAnswers
Posted .Drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat that remains in the tub after the heated rinse is performed. If your dishwasher is far away from your home’s hot water heater, it may be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a wash cycle, to ensure that cool water is purged from the hot water lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of hot water from start to finish.
Using the High Temp setting also aids in keeping the inner drum temperature and dishes hotter before drying begins. LG dishwashers are designed to be used in conjunction with a rinse aid. Using a rinse aid will maximize the amount of water that has already been sheeted away from the dishes before the dry cycle begins. If a rinse aid is used and the performance still needs a boost, adjust the amount of rinse aid used. 2 is the default setting, but if necessary set the level to 3 so more rinse aid is used.
Water tends to bead rather than sheet of plastic and nonstick surfaces, making them more difficult to dry. If washing plastic items in a Normal cycle, select the Extra Dry or Night Dry option or both for better drying results. When the rinse aid is empty, the Extra Dry option is selected automatically.
Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before opening the door. If the door is opened in the middle of the dry cycle, the heat that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work will escape. This will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle finishes. ^Jennifer
WHAT service?! STAY AWAY FROM LG
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher could be great, but LG support is AWFUL! This dishwasher leaked from the right bottom corner. The water splashes over the bottom gasket and flows out of the front cover. We contacted LG numerous times, and at first were given simple fixes to try, which we knew would do nothing. Eventually, and reluctantly, they scheduled a repairman to come. LG called to confirm the appointment. No one showed! We called the company LG set up the appointment with and came to find out they do not service our area! So, after making sure we were home for a service visit, this had to be rescheduled with another company. Days later the repairman came. He removed the dishwasher, and then upon trying to reinstall, stated the inlet water line was leaking. He recommended a replacement. Also, noted the flooring damage we received from the leaking dishwasher, and the "possible leak" which he stated could be happening due to user error when loading the machine. Ok, so I paid the 30 dollars for a new 5 foot stainless steel braided water line, installed it, and noticed the repairman had tried to install the old one with teflon tape, which is certainly not recommended with a compression fitting with a rubber seal. So, here I am installing the dishwasher AGAIN, ran it without ANY dishes, and the leak is still there. After contacting customer service they tried to set up another service visit. I want a replacement and I want to be compensated for the damage to my flooring from the leak. I was told I would receive a call from a different department. 2 weeks later, no call. Tried live chat, and after explaining TWICE what happened, was disconnected from the chat by the representative while waiting for THEM! Called customer service again, they sent an "update email" to the department who was supposed to call me. So here I am, with a lemon machine, and absolutely HORRIBLE customer service. Now I am stuck talking to a stranger and trying to manage my frustration with someone who has no ability or desire to actually help. STAY AWAY!

Do Not Buy This
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this dishwasher. I bought this over a year ago and now it wont even complete a cycle and would stop working. We called the manufacturer and they said warranty is only offered for 1 year. Goodbye $700.

Posted .Hello there, KarenB. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand that your LG dishwasher, model LDFN4542S, has been experiencing issues completing cycles, ceasing operation unexpectedly after a year of use. We also acknowledge your concern regarding the manufacturer's one-year warranty period.
To assist you further, we recommend performing a reset of your dishwasher to address any potential glitches. Here's how you can do it:
Soft Reset:
Press and hold the Start/Cancel button for 3-5 seconds.
Close the dishwasher door.
Wait for a few moments before opening the door and attempting to start a new cycle.
If the issue persists after performing the reset, we suggest the following steps:
Check the Door Latch:
Ensure the dishwasher door is securely latched. A loosely closed door may cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle.
Listen for a click sound confirming the door is properly shut.
Inspect the Water Supply:
Verify that the water supply valve is fully open.
Check for any kinks or blockages in the water inlet hose that might restrict water flow.
Regarding the warranty, LG offers a limited warranty with the purchase of their dishwashers, typically covering parts and labor for the first year. Extended coverage plans, such as the LG Premium Care Plan, are available for purchase to provide additional protection beyond the standard warranty period.
