Should be better designed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher appears to be well constructed and generally cleans dishes and silverware well as we use it. But we do a good job of rinses dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, so I cannot comment on what might happen to a "dirty" dish or fork. One exception to that comment though is that it seems easy to block the flow of water from the soap dish. At times, when we loaded the washer with plates in a row across the lower basket, we were left with a lot of soap left in the dish. It seems that a large gap is necessary, which of course, compromises the loading efficiency. Speaking of loading, the basket design seems to be targeted towards a load of dishes and silverware, but not a load of various size and shaped dishes. In other words, If I have 10 place settings of plates and saucers, it might be OK. But for my small family to load a few plates, some bowls, some cooking utensils, a strainer, or other miscellaneous items, it is very difficult and ends up being a small load to work.

New dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good, replaced our bosch and was worried it may not work as well but its been fine, i do like the 3rd rack a lot
I would recommend this to a friend Very well designed and lots of space.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We went from a very small (on the inside) dishwasher to this one and the extra space was instantly noticeable. The third drawer is very useful and helps save space when it comes to items like spatulas or long knives. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great dishwasher and i highly recommend it. The biggest plus is the turbo cycle that completes in a hr. The only downside is i sometimes rub against the buttons by accident. You can lock it so the settings dont change but it doesnt lock the power button so i have turned it off by accident.

Love the third rack!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher holds more because it has a shallow top rack that holds small items and large utensils. Lots of options in the cycle choice and pretty quiet.

I would recommend this to a friend LG Dishwasher. Solid, eye pleasing, basic machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bestbuy and delivery people were awesome. Very quiet solid basic operation. Despite the claim on machine, no wifi connctivity. Drying doesn't completely happen, set for extra drying if you don't feel like wiping off. Third rack on top is a waste. It does not clean nor dry. Mediocre machine but pretty and eye pleasing. My whole kitchen line was LG so I need to roll with this. Knowing what I know now, I would opt for something else.

I would recommend this to a friend Ok dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The touch screen is sorta hard to use you can’t use the energy effectively with using heat to dry the dishes. And if you don’t empty the dishwasher when it’s done. Ya have to dry by hand. And you have to take them Out soon. Or they start stinking. So ya have to re wash.

Posted .Hi, Tricia. Thanks for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher LDFN4542S. We appreciate your insights — it’s clear you’re trying to make the most of your dishwasher’s features, and we understand how important it is for the drying cycle and touchscreen to work smoothly. To help improve drying performance, we recommend activating the Extra Dry and High Temp options before starting a cycle. These settings enhance heat drying and reduce moisture left on dishes. Also, opening the door slightly after the cycle finishes can help release steam and prevent odors from building up if you’re not able to unload right away. You can find more tips on optimizing your dishwasher’s performance here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/not-drying-dishwasher--20150933408322. If you’d like further assistance, feel free to send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We're here to help. ^Juvy

Not Sure
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher appears to be doing a good job but we have already had an error code after 1 month stating a kinked hose. Probably during installation. Have had a lot of problems getting geek squad back out to fix and have been told that our manufacturing warranty will go away because we called the squad not the manufacturer. Doesn’t make sense and not very happy.
