GE/LG Not Compatible
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a GE dishwasher and apparently the connection needed to be updated in order to use this LG dishwasher. Not only additional $160 was charged to install the necessary outlet, the dishwasher sticks out about 1/2-inch out of the counter depth because the outlet sticks out of the wall. Performance is good. Overall, if I were informed of the connection issue at the time of purchase especially since we spent over an hour on the floor at the store getting help to pick out the type we liked, I would have purchased a similar product offered by GE instead.

LG 24" QuadWash
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've had this dishwasher for last 2 weeks and it's been working great. Didn't dried the dishes completely when we tried it the first time but after adding rinse aid in the desired location it's been working as advertised.

Do not buy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing has had issue after issue. 7 months after purchase it breaks and takes nearly a month before it is repaired. 11 months after it does the same thing. Same thing is broken. Stay away from this product. Probably my last Lg product purchase.

Posted .Hi there, JohnW. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG LDFN4542S Front Control Dishwasher. We understand your situation and truly appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback. Our goal is to ensure every product meets your expectations, and we're here to support you.
If your dishwasher is repeatedly experiencing the same issue, we recommend performing a control panel reset by turning off the unit at the circuit breaker for about 10 minutes, then powering it back on. This can sometimes clear error states or control glitches that may be recurring. Additionally, ensure the inlet water valve is not clogged and that the dishwasher is draining properly—blockages can lead to operational failures that appear similar.

Does not dry!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit does not dry the dishes at all even on extra dry. We purchased it and thought it was faulty so called and had it exchanged. They brought the new one we hooked it up and had the same issue. It still wouldn’t dry. Other than that it washes good but I figured I’d warn others before buying. I didn’t feel like going through the haste of swapping the unit again so I just kept the 2nd one they sent.

LG Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great dishwasher cleans very well!! Recommend LG!!!
I would recommend this to a friend Does not clean or dry.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't realize I could buy a dishwasher that doesn't clean or dry my dishes. I think it should be called a rinser because thats about all it does. It sprays water on dishes, does not wash them and does not dry them. We have resorted back to hand washing and towel or air drying. Im being very serious when I say air drying on my countertop is a faster dry then this dishwasher gives. We only use this now to get dust off of dishes that we have stored and are only used when hosting a large dinner. Also 48db is still alot louder than my previous dishwasher that was 15 years old. I wish I would have fixed that one or purchased a different manufacturer. This is my 2nd LG dishwasher this year. I thought it had to be better than the first model because the price was twice as much. Nope same thing just more cycle options on how to not get the dishes clean. It goes through twice as much rinse aid yet I still have spots. You should only buy this as a gift for an enemy. Oh and the normal wash is 2 and a half hours long then about a 24 hour dry time.
