Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The very best dishwasher I've owned. The sale price was great!! Best Buy is the best.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Cleaning performance, Noise level
Never completely dries. Choose another.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never dries the dishes no matter the setting. When the cycle is over the top rack and the silverware caddy are wet. I have to open the unit, towel off the wet cups and glasses, then leave the door open a bit to complete drying. Cleans well in turbo mode. Very quiet.

Love 3rd rack
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, lots of options, good space. You do need to rinse your dishes before they go in, despite the instructions saying not too, but it gets a lot off.
I would recommend this to a friendSo far so good.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good Little quieter then old kitchen aid we had. Lot of cycles still have to figure out what to use. Only issue found so far is easy to turn power in by leaning against the front.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the machine itself is great. The delivery team was Phenomenal. They contacted me ahead of time and gave me a tight delivery window, So I did not have to spend my whole day waiting. When they arrived they were courteous and professional.

Posted .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
WHAT service?! STAY AWAY FROM LG
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher could be great, but LG support is AWFUL! This dishwasher leaked from the right bottom corner. The water splashes over the bottom gasket and flows out of the front cover. We contacted LG numerous times, and at first were given simple fixes to try, which we knew would do nothing. Eventually, and reluctantly, they scheduled a repairman to come. LG called to confirm the appointment. No one showed! We called the company LG set up the appointment with and came to find out they do not service our area! So, after making sure we were home for a service visit, this had to be rescheduled with another company. Days later the repairman came. He removed the dishwasher, and then upon trying to reinstall, stated the inlet water line was leaking. He recommended a replacement. Also, noted the flooring damage we received from the leaking dishwasher, and the "possible leak" which he stated could be happening due to user error when loading the machine. Ok, so I paid the 30 dollars for a new 5 foot stainless steel braided water line, installed it, and noticed the repairman had tried to install the old one with teflon tape, which is certainly not recommended with a compression fitting with a rubber seal. So, here I am installing the dishwasher AGAIN, ran it without ANY dishes, and the leak is still there. After contacting customer service they tried to set up another service visit. I want a replacement and I want to be compensated for the damage to my flooring from the leak. I was told I would receive a call from a different department. 2 weeks later, no call. Tried live chat, and after explaining TWICE what happened, was disconnected from the chat by the representative while waiting for THEM! Called customer service again, they sent an "update email" to the department who was supposed to call me. So here I am, with a lemon machine, and absolutely HORRIBLE customer service. Now I am stuck talking to a stranger and trying to manage my frustration with someone who has no ability or desire to actually help. STAY AWAY!

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.AMAZING DISHWASHER IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY!!! I HAVE NOT HAD SUCH CLEAN DISHES IN SO LONG!! THEY SPARKLE.
I would recommend this to a friendDo not buy or trust LG dishwasher quality.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give it less than a star if possible. Circuit board required replacement twice in less than three years. Same issue with error code and clicking as noted in numerous other reviews. Geek Squad covered first repair of circuit board after just over a year. After 2 year Geek Squad coverage, circuit board costs between $349 (LG Repair) or $99 service call plus parts ($200 plus depending on technician) from Best Buy to repair. Geek Squad only covered 2 years, LG customer service was terrible and unconcerned about reptitive problem in their product. Best Buy should stop selling this defective product. There are better, more reliable dishwashers available. Do not buy.
