    Poor customer service

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Didn’t work and when I had to return it, the manager never apologized or gave me any other options or suggestions or discount for any of my troubles.I had to pay a contractor to install the dishwasher and after all of that it only turned on for 1 minute and turned off. Very dissatisfied and disappointed with the customer service. The dishwasher was filled with water when we got it home. So I don’t understand why they don’t check to make sure that there’s issues with returns before reselling their appliances. It was a complete waste of my time energy and money

    The bottom rack falls off the track every time i pull it out to load the dish’s. I have already broke two plates. Thought maybe it was installed incorrectly and had a second installer come out. He remounted it but said it is just a poor design and will continue to fall off rack

    For right now I am giving this product a 1 star review, I ordered it and scheduled the installation a week out. Today the contractors showed up and got to work removing my old dishwasher and installing this one. They then let me know that the box was damaged and saw that the drain hose was also damaged but installed it anyway. There was a leak in the obviously damaged hose and now I am stuck waiting for a new drain hose to be ordered and installed.

    Dishwasher satisfaction

    We were so excited to get a new dishwasher. This one hasn't met our expectations yet. It doesn't dry the dishes well. I added the drying feature but it's not great. Also noticed a smell. We've put dirty dishes in our old dishwasher and they would sit for days without running the cycle. This was a couple days and the inside smelled terrible. I think because it never dries completely inside. Not sure. Still deciding if we like it. It did clean the dishes and it is quiet. Not a fan.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
    • Brand response from LGAnswers

      Drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat that remains in the tub after the heated rinse is performed. If your dishwasher is far away from your home’s hot water heater, it may be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a wash cycle, to ensure that cool water is purged from the hot water lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of hot water from start to finish.

      Using the High Temp setting also aids in keeping the inner drum temperature and dishes hotter before drying begins. LG dishwashers are designed to be used in conjunction with a rinse aid. Using a rinse aid will maximize the amount of water that has already been sheeted away from the dishes before the dry cycle begins. If a rinse aid is used and the performance still needs a boost, adjust the amount of rinse aid used. 2 is the default setting, but if necessary set the level to 3 so more rinse aid is used.

      Water tends to bead rather than sheet of plastic and nonstick surfaces, making them more difficult to dry. If washing plastic items in a Normal cycle, select the Extra Dry or Night Dry option or both for better drying results. When the rinse aid is empty, the Extra Dry option is selected automatically.

      Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before opening the door. If the door is opened in the middle of the dry cycle, the heat that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work will escape. This will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle finishes. ^Jennifer LG

      Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We appreciate your feedback and understand how concerning it can be when your dishwasher leaves black residues after cleaning.

      This issue could be caused by a buildup of food particles or residue in the filter or spray arms. We recommend checking and cleaning the filter regularly and ensuring the spray arms are clear of obstructions. Running a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner may also help eliminate buildup.

      If you continue to experience this issue or have specific questions, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport. Our team would be more than happy to assist you further. We appreciate your patience and hope to improve your experience. ^Juvy LG
