Great overall
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's great. I will say the touch screen buttons on the front means we turn it one when we're working on the counter above it and lean in. Heavy duty wash is like 2.5 hours which seems long but I don't know compared to other things. (Turbo is an hour). Love the third rack for large utensils.

Clean, quiet dishes...but come out a little wet.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This washer does a good job cleaning and is very quiet. Unfortunately all the reviews that talk about how well this machine dries are true. Great dishwasher...but will always leave your dishes a bit wet. You know the meniscus on the bottom of your coffee cups? Well there will be a little puddle of water on every single cup. Its not a deal breaker...But a hinderance nonetheless.

Wet dishes
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like that’s it’s pretty quiet and it cleans my dishes but it leaves my dishes completely wet. I have rinse aid in it and upped the level from L2 to L3. They are soaked. Not just damp. I turn it on before bed and do the extra dry and it doesn’t help at all.

Posted .Hi, Cassondra. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542B) model. We’re glad to hear that you find it quiet and effective at cleaning your dishes, but we understand your concern when they come out completely wet. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products exceeding our customer's needs and expectations. ince you’ve already adjusted the rinse aid, a helpful troubleshooting step is to check the dishwasher's drying settings. Make sure that the "Extra Dry" option is selected, as this should enhance the drying performance. Additionally, you might want to verify that the dishwasher’s filter is clean, as a clogged filter can impact drying efficiency.
If these adjustments don’t improve the situation, we’re here to assist you further. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be more than happy to help you find a solution. Your satisfaction is important to us. ^Juvy

Fast, quiet and cleans well
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this in white to match our amazing new LG fridge. This dishwasher has a lot of useful settings and is much quieter than the one we replaced (15+ years old). You can barely hear it from the next room. The turbo setting gets everyday dishes clean and dry in 1 hour. Running this every other day for the last four months and the stainless interior is sleek, clean and spotless. We use Cascade ActionPacs; it’s very easy to fill soap and Rinse aid.

Great Diswasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it’s awesome! My old Maytag only was used once a month and it started leaking all over the new floor- and it was loud. LG makes the best appliances. Streamline, quiet and does its job. Couldn’t be happier

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.

Works surprisingly well
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This wasn't the model I planned to buy but my old washer broke and this was one of the few models in stock that also wasn't super expensive. Glad I picked it up tho - super quiet, and cleans so much better than the unit it replaced. I've seen some comments about poor drying performance and I don't understand them - my dishes, glasses, flatware, and even plastics come out dry (I do use a rinse aid as recommended). This is all on the "auto" setting - I haven't tried the other options yet.
