Hello there, Joett. We understand your inquiry and appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the LDFN4542B. While features like the third rack and easy-rolling racks can be convenient, we hear you that they may not feel worth it if the cleaning performance doesn’t meet your expectations. We want to help you get the most from your dishwasher and address any concerns about longevity as well.

Troubleshooting Tip for Improved Cleaning:
Many modern energy-saving dishwashers use lower-flow spray arms and reduced-water cycles to conserve resources, which can feel different compared to older, higher-water models. To ensure your dishes come out thoroughly clean, try these steps:

Load Strategically: Place larger items—pots, pans, and casserole dishes—on the bottom rack, tilted slightly so they don’t block the spray arms. Ensure that nothing obstructs the rotation of the upper spray arms; even a single utensil or plate leaning at the wrong angle can prevent water from reaching all items.

Check and Clean Spray Arms: Periodically remove the upper and lower spray arms and rinse them under warm water. Small food particles can lodge in the spray-arm holes, reducing water coverage. A toothpick or small brush can clear those tiny nozzles so water jets spray forcefully.

Use the Right Cycle and Detergent: For particularly soiled loads, select “Heavy” or “Pots & Pans” rather than a quick “Energy Saver” cycle. Heavy cycles use longer wash times and higher wash-pump pressure to tackle stuck-on food. Additionally, make sure you’re using a high-quality dishwasher detergent that’s compatible with hard or soft water in your area; using a rinse aid can also improve drying and prevent spotting.

Reassurance on Durability:
The LDFN4542B’s interior tub is crafted from durable nylon-reinforced material designed to resist dents and high heat. While it may look different than stainless steel, it’s engineered to provide long-lasting performance. To help your dishwasher last beyond five years, keep the filter assembly clean (remove and rinse it at least once a month) and periodically examine door seals and gaskets for any wear or residue. A quick wipe-down after each cycle can prevent buildup that stresses hinges and seals over time.

We know it can be frustrating if a new dishwasher doesn't feel like an upgrade. If you’d like to explore additional cleaning techniques, troubleshoot any specific cycles, or discuss warranty and maintenance options, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport. Our team will be more than happy to walk through any steps or recommendations tailored to your kitchen setup.
