Ok
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is quiet and the dishes are clean, but the controls are odd and the options limited, more limited than the old Maytage it replaced.

10 yr motor warranty worthless
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed. At about 2.5 years the dishwasher started to make a horrible noise and began leaking. And while the motor has a 10 year warranty it's $349 to have a LG technician repair. And while it's not as expensive as a new dishwasher it's still about 60% of the original cost. While I did like the dishwasher, especially the top silverware rack, I would not recommend it to my friends or family

Posted .Hi, Tonka. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand your concern about the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542B) model, especially with the noise and leaking issue after 2.5 years of use. We really aim to provide reliable, high-quality products that meet our customers' needs and expectations.
To help you out, we suggest checking the door seal and making sure there aren’t any blockages or debris causing the leak. Sometimes, a worn-out seal can lead to water leakage and those odd noises. You might also want to run a cleaning cycle to see if that helps with the noise issue since built-up debris inside the dishwasher can create some strange sounds. If you need more assistance, feel free to check out this link: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-troubleshooting-leaking-issues--1390840766052.
We know that repair costs can feel like a lot sometimes. Just drop us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and we’d love to help you out by looking into your situation and finding the best solution for you.
We’re here to make sure you’re happy with your LG appliance! ^Juvy

Cleaning Up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this LG to replace a 25 year old dishwasher. We like the stainless steel interior and the third tray which can hold knives, spatulas and other flatter utensils. The LG does a good job cleaning and drying. We use the normal cycle with extra heat. We are very pleased with the dishwasher. The installation was not so good. The installer said our opening was not deep enough. When he installed the unit it stuck out beyond the cabinets by about 2 inches. According to all the measurements and dimensions it should fit perfectly. I wasn't impressed with the installer and we let him leave. Once gone I checked the situation and found he had run the hose behind the deepest part of the dishwasher which would not allow it to go all the way into the opening. I moved the hose down to the area where the unit is notched out for connections. Problem solved.

Works great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! This dishwasher is very quite. I keep checking to make sure it's on and it is on. Lots of different cycles to choose from. I use the turbo cycle for half a load and it cuts down the wash time but the dishes come out sparkling.

MAKE SURE MIDDLE RACK CLICKS TO PREVENT LEAK!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If the middle rack is not completely pushed in so the nozzle coming out of the back wall clicks into the sprayer arm the dishwasher will leak. We used without issue for a week before it leaked through the bottom corner of the door. A product review I found determined this was the cause, hasn't happened since. Picked up when my 17 year old dishwasher leaked and ruined my hardwood floor (got drip tray for new install, recommend to everyone). Due to pandemic, didn't have a lot of options, chose LG to match my black stainless fridge and due to nightmare reviews of Samsung (and my nightmare experience with a Samsung fridge). I like the controls on the front with large display to tell how much time is left on cycle. It's not silent but on Normal mode it's very quiet most of the time, only hear when draining or filling. Turbo wash is noticeable but not loud. No heating element so dishes are WET even using extra dry feature (tries to use condensation to dry dishes to conserve energy, doesn't work). It washes about as well as our old dishwasher, but I think it depends a lot on the detergent you use, the prior model this replaced got a stellar cleaning review from a review site. Bought on sale for $750, but feel like I overpaid. LG dishwashers have poor reliability, so strongly consider extended warranty. If I wasn't worried about color match and they were available would have bought from Whirlpool family.

Great dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher itself is great. It is extremely quiet. The dishes comes out clean. Easy to use. The only complaint would be that the dishes are still wet when the cycles are done. Other than that, we love it.

New, but arrived damaged then replaced.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's been two weeks and it's working fine. All of the features are nice, especially the third upper rack. NOTE: this is our second unit this month because the first one arrived with a huge dent. The installation crew were very helpful about this. We decided to install the damaged unit while at the same time they called BB service and immediately reported the damage and requested a new replacement unit. We received the replacement unit in 7 days. The same install crew arrived and were able to swap out the damaged unit and install the new unit in under 45 minutes.

Definitely quiet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's quiet enough that we find ourselves double-checking that it's actually running and we've become big fans of the 3rd rack. The front touch controls, however, are awkward and have a tendency to respond to any incidental contact more readily than intentional use. The lack of meaningful drying is the big downside, though.

LG - 24" Front Control Built-In Stainless Steel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This LG 24" dishwasher has been a true asset in our home. With a large family, dishes stack up quickly, and the spacious interior with a third rack makes it easy to load everything—from utensils to oversized pots. The QuadWash system delivers consistently clean results, even after big meals. I appreciate how sleek and smudge-resistant the stainless steel finish is, especially with kids constantly in and out of the kitchen. Whether it’s a regular weeknight or a holiday gathering, this dishwasher keeps cleanup simple and stress-free.

Great Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed the dishwasher. Once installed started a load of dishes right away. This thing works perfectly. Very quiet. No issues. The only thing left to do is add a butcher block counter top to cover the top of the dish washer since we didn't have a regular sized dishwasher. We were using one of the small portable counter top dish washer and with this new unit I can wash about 3 times as much as I could with the previous one I used to do. It has been helping to keep the kitchen cleaner since I can wash more dishes at one time.

Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.New dishwasher is great. Cleans dishes very well. The third rack has come in handy. Machine is pretty quiet except when water is running. Love the little chime at end of program.

Really, very quiet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price is higher than several models, it's tricky to use the side mounts because you gotta go through 2 holes on each side with a quarter inch gap between and they don't really line up. Plus, I still prefer the utensile rack in the door. But, the third rack really is a useful bonus. It stands on 3 feet instead of 4, which, I think, made leveling easier. It'll throw up error codes if something is wrong, which are included in the book. Plus it really is the quietest dishwasher I've ever known.

LG 24"
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's nice. I don't use any special detergent. It doesn't like to dry all the way so you don't want to stack a lot of stuff in it at once or it will come out cloudy. There's no heating coil so it doesn't get too hot but I did still have a cup melt because someone wasnt paying attention when loading it. Other than that, the top rack is nice for silverware. There's absolutely no kit that comes with it so you have to get one that is COLOR coded, otherwise you're gonna be sitting there trying to find out there's a texture on one side of the cables
