Bad ma home.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Top control pad broke within 8 months cracked right through middle in several areas of it. Happened again 14 months of use same thing. Also a loud sound of a motor wearing out. The rack has pegs that fall down when you put in dishes you always have to adjust it back straight so they hold dishes up. Spaced oddly so plates tilt and fall forward. Have to have water running hot before you start machine or they will be wet. It's just not a decent machine. Stating to think no matter what price you spend they just don't last. This one was more higher end and lasted the least.

Best Buy should stand behind this lemon of a produ
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had high hopes with Best Buy and this dishwasher Sadly both come up short. All the settings have been tried on the 2nd dishwasher which still leaves dishes unclean and does not dry. A faulty appliance. A loss of a good amount of money worthy only for the trash bin.

Posted .Hello there. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the LDFN4542S dishwasher. We appreciate your patience as we work to address your concerns.
The extended wash cycle time may be influenced by several factors, including the selected wash cycle, water temperature, and load size. To optimize the performance of your dishwasher, we recommend using the appropriate cycle for your dishes and ensuring that the water supply is adequate and hot enough for effective cleaning and drying.
If you are experiencing prolonged drying times, ensuring that rinse aid is filled in the dispenser can significantly improve drying results. Additionally, properly loading the dishwasher to allow for effective water circulation and air drying can also contribute to better results.
If you have specific questions or would like further assistance in optimizing your dishwasher's performance, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport with your contact details. Our team is here to assist you in achieving the best results from your appliance.
Thank you for choosing LG, and we look forward to improving your experience. —Mau

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher is okay. Doesn’t dry at all but that’s manageable. I’m more upset with BestBuy. I wasn’t told about the fitting for the hose, so I paid for an installation that never happened. When I got in contact with bestbuy, they ended our chat almost immediately. I just want my money back for the installation.

Piece of Junk that broke in 15 months, 30 uses
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely worked great until it broke in less than 30 uses in 15 months. Best Buy, wants to charge me $129 as a Total Member and reduce the parts to 20% off. Why should I have to pay for a product that should not have broken in so few uses.

Lights flickering & iradkic beeping less than 2 yr
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before buying an LG dishwasher, Google "LG Dishwasher lights fritzing”. Need a new control panel in less than 2 years due to moisture getting into the control panel, a known problem. Parts covered, but not labor. Must either (1) buy the $250 part and replace myself or (2) pay $250 for a technician to visit, verify the problem, order the part, come back and install the part that is covered by warrenty or (3) spend hours on the phone arguing with LG customer srvice.

Smart as a bag of chips
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LG advertises this unit as a smart dishwasher. It is not. It doesn't have wifi. In order to connect this unit to the app (presumably to get the smart diagnosis feature), you need a phone that has NFC enabled. iphones do not have this feature. So ios is out. When you go switch over to that old android phone, the app refuses to launch because it thinks the phone is rooted, which it hasn't. First app I have seen on Android to kill itself based on a flaky root detection. I have banking apps on the same phone that work just fine. Haven't had a chance to really see the washing capabilities of this unit, but I am not optimistic of what follows.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Junk. Upper wash arm quit working after 3 weeks!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from LG Digital Customer Care
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 . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far the biggest thing is that it does not dry very well. The buttons are not all basic, for some features you have to press and hold. Not a big deal, but for some it might be.

Does not dry
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We wanted a Bosch, but they were sold out. This looked like a good backup especially for the price, but this works worse than our previous dishwasher which was 40 years old. The dishes are still wet, and always have a film on them. The owners manual says it "does not rely on a heating element for the drying process," meaning it hust doesnt dry the dishes. Returning this and going without a dishwasher until we can get a bosch.
