Disappointed in LG dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The machine washes dishes well. However, even after the extra dry cycle, the dishes are still wet. Cups and glasses have little puddles on them. After emptying the machine, if the door is closed, the interior remains wet!

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.

Mr
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We add a older lg was noisy this is very quiet love it
I would recommend this to a friendPoor quality product Broke within a year
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Less than a year after installation major issues with the dishwasher. Wash cycle started making very loud noise. The warranty covers nothing after 12 months of purchase and it will last you only 13 months. After that go buy a dishwasher again or spend hours trying to contact customer service and then having to pay for parts and labor and wasting your own time.

Not very smart
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LG labels this device as Smart buy there’s nothing smart about this dishwasher. The only smart feature is NFC but it doesn’t work with iphones. No where in the product details do they mention it. After spending half the day installing it, i found out ut doesn’t do the one thing i bought it to do, run it from the app. Lg support is useless with help. I gave up after multiple attempts to get them to help me. I did my own research and figured i have no choice but to return it and get a different one. Inconvinenient for no reason. I dont understand the obsession to add “_SMART” to everything. You are just confusing people and causing annoyance for no reason

Good

I would recommend this to a friendStopped working in less than a year.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it worked it was ok, but recently it started showing AE error status, and the technician was not able to help. The unit has very short drain hose, and it was originally installed with an extender hose (installation by the professionals purchased at BestBuy). Now the technician claims the extension hose is a problem. It's a small kitchen, everything is close, the dishwasher is a couple of feet from the sink.

ONLY LASTED 15 MONTHS
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product worked great until a month or so ago. Had this installed in December of 2022 and now it is very unreliable. The control panel flickers and beeps ovet and over and most times it just aborts the wash. Reading the reviews and other websites online this is a common problem. Stay away.

Not impressed.
||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.

Lasted just over a year
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just over a year and it's not working correct. Flashing lights, won't finish a cycle, and beeps a lot. For the money, it should last longer. Maybe with an extended warning it could be worth it.

Posted .Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542D) model. We understand your concern about a dishwasher that doesn’t meet your expectations, especially after only two years of use. To help improve performance, we suggest checking the spray arms to ensure they’re not clogged and that they can rotate freely. Sometimes, debris can accumulate and affect cleaning efficiency. Additionally, proper loading techniques can significantly enhance cleaning performance.
