||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this just over a year ago to replace a 20+ year old Frigidaire model. It looks great, is much quieter than the old unit, but doesn't clean dishes nearly as well. I've tried all the settings and use the best rated detergent pods, but still am left with spotty or dirty looking dishes.

Posted .Hi, Seena. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We understand how concerning it can be when your unit shows multiple error codes, especially within a few months of use. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations.
If your unit is within the manufacturer's warranty period, many repairs—including parts and labor—may be covered. For error codes like LE (motor issue), AE (leak detected), or FE (overfill error), we recommend resetting the unit by turning off the circuit breaker for about 10 minutes, then turning it back on. This can help clear temporary errors and restore function. For additional guidance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oZxKpoStHg.
Please don’t hesitate to send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport so we can look into your repair case, verify your warranty coverage, and work toward a resolution. We're here to make things easier and help you get back to enjoying your appliance. ^Juvy

Posted .Hi, Martha. Thanks for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We totally get your concerns about the drying performance, and we're here to help you make the most out of your dishwasher. This model uses an energy-efficient drying system that works best with rinse aid during the final rinse. Ensure rinse aid is filled and select “Extra Dry” or “Night Dry” for better results. Slightly opening the door after the cycle can also help release moisture. For more assistance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-not-drying-properly.

The Reviews don't match my experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since getting this dishwasher, I have had issues with extreme noise. I reported it to Best Buy, who did nothing other than tell me to contact LG. I contacted LG, and they have had a service tech come out two times with no resolution. On the last visit, the service tech dented my front panel. I chose this brand and model based on the positive reviews, and I have never owned a dishwasher this noisy. I'm not sure what to do next.

Good price, but doesn’t dry
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price was right. It has good features for the price. There are some annoyances, like it just doesn’t dry, even when using the extra dry overnight cycle.
I would recommend this to a friendGL dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very quiet, does not dry plastic containers, trays are made mainly for plates and very limited space for drinking glasses therefore very difficult to load.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it, but it's just average. The bottom rack comes off track every time.
I would recommend this to a friendAnother crappy appliance
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just over two years old and the electrical is randomly shutting off. Dishwasher before this one only lasted 4 years. Starting to feel like buying appliances is like buying new jeans. Geez! I have a stove that is over 25 years old in my daycare. Current stove convectional broke at month 11, and two washers during covid! And now this! Ridiculous. LG dryer still kicking after 17 years. LG was dependable. Was.

New Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still getting used to this dishwasher. Tends to not dry dishes as much as I am used to and lots of moisture after one use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendVery disappointed
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All my kitchen appliances are LG. But the dishwasher I would not recommend. After two years I started getting an A3 error, which means there’s a leak somewhere. I tried to turn the dishwasher off, but it automatically turned on by itself spraying water. LG wants to charge me $300 for service. I was not aware that the life of a LG washer is two years.
