Efficient, and Cleans Really Well
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The LG 24" front‑control dishwasher has been a great upgrade. It runs quietly, loads easily, and consistently leaves dishes spotless—even on the quick cycles. The controls are simple, the interior layout is practical, and the overall performance feels reliable and efficient. A solid choice for everyday use.

Love my LG
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher I had was in the house when I moved in 9 years ago. I didn't need a new one but wanted one and had the opportunity to get one. I love it. It is pretty, playa a cute little jingle when it is turned on and is unbelievably quiet. If I knew how good it was I would have gotten a new LG dishwasher ages ago.

Satisfied. Over time ll I be Completely Satisfied?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher does as advertised. Cleans and dries dishes leaving them spotless especially with the jet dry. This unit is much more quieter than previous dishwasher even on turbo wash cycle. The service techs installed the dishwasher professionally making sure it was completely level and the unit was fully functional. The techs explained the different cycles and the basic do and don't of the dishwasher. Ask me if i had any questions, i said no and they handed me dishwasher manual. However, the true test of the product is will it stand the test of time by lasting for at least 10 years with little to none repair(s).

Wet dishes
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like that’s it’s pretty quiet and it cleans my dishes but it leaves my dishes completely wet. I have rinse aid in it and upped the level from L2 to L3. They are soaked. Not just damp. I turn it on before bed and do the extra dry and it doesn’t help at all.

Posted .Hi, Cassondra. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542B) model. We’re glad to hear that you find it quiet and effective at cleaning your dishes, but we understand your concern when they come out completely wet. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products exceeding our customer's needs and expectations. ince you’ve already adjusted the rinse aid, a helpful troubleshooting step is to check the dishwasher's drying settings. Make sure that the "Extra Dry" option is selected, as this should enhance the drying performance. Additionally, you might want to verify that the dishwasher’s filter is clean, as a clogged filter can impact drying efficiency.
If these adjustments don’t improve the situation, we’re here to assist you further. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be more than happy to help you find a solution. Your satisfaction is important to us. ^Juvy

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

Clean, quiet dishes...but come out a little wet.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This washer does a good job cleaning and is very quiet. Unfortunately all the reviews that talk about how well this machine dries are true. Great dishwasher...but will always leave your dishes a bit wet. You know the meniscus on the bottom of your coffee cups? Well there will be a little puddle of water on every single cup. Its not a deal breaker...But a hinderance nonetheless.

Fast, quiet and cleans well
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this in white to match our amazing new LG fridge. This dishwasher has a lot of useful settings and is much quieter than the one we replaced (15+ years old). You can barely hear it from the next room. The turbo setting gets everyday dishes clean and dry in 1 hour. Running this every other day for the last four months and the stainless interior is sleek, clean and spotless. We use Cascade ActionPacs; it’s very easy to fill soap and Rinse aid.

Dishwasher Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, the dishwasher is a good one. It’s very quiet. I’m still trying to figure my way through some things with the cycles. It seems like there are some really long cycles. The salesman that sold it to me was a really good salesman. He walked us through everything. One thing I would say that is a minus the plug that the dishwasher comes with. If you have to plug into a shared outlet with your dishwasher, you won’t be able to do it. It comes with an angled plug.

A bit noisy, but efficient
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher does a good job cleaning, but has strange noises & an obnoxious ending song. (I'm trying to figure out how to stop the ending song!) Overall the dishwasher is good, but it has a large open space on the bottom rack that should have pegs to hold plates or bowls.

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

Not overly impressed & not completely disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not overly impressed but also not completely disappointed. Very quiet compared to the 20yr old washer it replaced. Dish washing is average I would say, using Cascade Platinum Tablets. My old Whirlpool did a better job cleaning despite it sounding like an hour and a half long car crash.

Very Satisfied With the LG Dishwasher
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher works great and the interior racks are well designed to hold the dishes and utensils. I was surprised that I had to purchase and install a separate cord to connect the dishwasher to the power outlet. Initially thought the mounting brackets were missing, but found them in a small bag taped to the one of the interior racks

I recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This LG was a replacement for Kitchenaid's top of their line model which finally died after 12 years. It works great and does a good job of keeping things in place. The Kitchenaid had a few addons that this didn't offer, so I removed the extra baskets and holders from the Kitchenaid and put them in the LG. The only problem I can see is the visibility of the controls. No lights, black on black makes them impossible to see unless I kneel down in front of it and use my phone flashlight. Other than that, perfect.
