Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought dishwasher 10 months ago. It worked well until 2 weeks ago. Lights come on and flash with an error code “CL”. Went to LG support to troubleshoot but to no avail. Next step is to call Best Buy for service or return

Delivery of this item was late. Would prefer if delivery window could be narrowed down. My window was 7 AM to 1 PM (as I recall). Item wasn’t delivered until after 3:30 PM with no notification until I called for status. Front of dishwasher has a scratch on it. Disappointed!! Item itself runs fine. Product is fine.

So far, this machine has been a huge disappointment. Dishes come out cloudy and dirty regardless of which cycle I run it on. Yes, I use rinse aid. No, I do not have hard water. My old GE cleaned 10 time better.

Purchased an open box Satisfactory dishwasher that does not operate correctly, leaves dishes drenched and not clean. Highly frustrated with the “customer service” I received which was a waste of my time as they did not help in any way shape nor form.

Install was bad. Water line was coiled and drain line from the unit was not raised. Caused a be error. The unit itself is great!!!!!

Not working since the begging, and now it is a novel to get it fixed!

Day 1 review: easy to install, quiet, large capacity, easy to run. serious cleaning action. Very impressed with this product and geek squad delivery. I will recommend to all my friends and family.

This is a good, home use dishwasher. It holds plenty of dishes, is super quiet and was easy to install. When in the Auto mode, it does take a long time to run through the cycle but since it’s so quiet, we don’t mind.

I couldn't be happier with this dishwasher! It is super quiet and I love the 3rd rack for silverware and larger utensils, etc. Because of that you don't really need the silverware holder on the bottom rack and when removed it gives you more room for other items, which is great! I swear this holds more than my previous dishwasher, even tho they are both 24". Also some of the tines fold down which is really helpful with certain containers as well. I did have an issue at the beginning with the END light not staying on at the end of the cycle. I placed 2 calls to LG, and initially both reps wanted me to run the dishwasher for 1-1/2 hours to see if it would do that again, and one rep told me that their dishwashers don't have an END light. Once I asked for a supervisor, who told me it was just a matter of holding down a certain button for 3 seconds to reactive the END light, my problem was solved. If you have to call LG support, save yourself a ton of time and just ask for a supervisor. Options for overnight drying ensure all dishes and the inside of the dishwasher are bone dry!

Finally filled it up and ran a load of dishes. Everything went well. At first my wife and I were not sure we had started it properly. We both put our ears to the door and listened for sounds. Felt sort of stupid as this turned out to be the quietest dishwasher either of us had ever heard.... Tub size is really big, with just two of us it take awhile to get enough for a load. Shelves are designed well and the adjustable one is a big plus. The top shelf for flatware/utensils etc is another good feature. Lots of cycles but will probably not be use much by us. The first wash was our only test so far, but it worked beautifully. I am sure this will be the last dishwasher we will have to buy as we are both in our 80's, and we are glad we chose this one... So quiet compared to our old one.

I am very impressed with this dishwasher; plenty of space inside for different sizes of dishes, etc. The third rack helps tremendously when we have lots of silverware to wash after parties and the adjustable second rack works smoothly. The unit is very quiet when running and does a fantastic job with all the dishes, bowls, silverware, and more. I recommend this unit strongly if you are looking for a quality unit.

We were running into issues with the frigidaire washer that was left from the previous homeowners and this was such a noticible upgrade from the old 2016 appliance. Its relatively quiet, the stainless steel interior makes it so easy to tell when its clean. The other reviews about it not really drying are unfortunately accurate and it has a super long runtime with the “extra dry” setting that doesnt really do anything. But my dishes are clean and I am happy so its not a bad tradeoff to just leave the door cracked for a little while after a cycle to let it air dry a little.

I recently purchased/upgraded to the LDFN4542S, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. This dishwasher is truly excellent, providing top-tier cleaning and drying performance. While some people might be surprised I stuck with the same brand after my last experience, the truth is that I was always very happy with the actual washing and drying results of my previous LG. Because the cleaning performance was so reliable when the machine was running, I decided to give their newer generation a fair shot. My previous unit was the LDT5678ST, which was a bit of a saga as that model was actually part of a class-action lawsuit. I had the control board fail within the first year, which the warranty covered, but the issues didn't stop there. the following year LG offered their extended warranty via email, so I purchased an extended LG warranty, and only six months after that, the board began failing yet again. However, because this happened during the pandemic when parts were incredibly scarce, LG ended up paying me out for the full cost of the dishwasher. Because of that payout, the dishwasher was essentially free for the duration I owned it. I managed to keep it limping along for another three years after the settlement, getting a total of seven years out of the machine. Recently, the motor started squealing loudly, so I figured it was finally time to retire it and get a new one. This new LDFN4542S takes everything I liked about the cleaning power of my old one and seems to have refined it. It is worth noting that this model does not have Wi-Fi capabilities, which in my opinion are useless anyway; I never used them on my old unit, so I don't miss them at all. The washing is great, and the drying performance is even better than I expected. It’s quiet, efficient, and handles tough messes with ease. After the long journey with my last machine, I’m optimistic that this one will provide the same great results with better long-term reliability. To play it safe, I also made sure to get the 5-year Geek Squad warranty with this purchase. That is another big positive point for me, as I’ve had great experiences with their service in the past. If you want a dishwasher that actually gets your dishes clean and dry the first time, this is a great choice.

We love our new microwave! Also bought the LG Dishwasher and Stove!! Came back and bought The LG Refrigerator which will be installed next week!! Love them all!!

Awesome dishwasher! The first time I used it, I had to go back into the kitchen 3 times because I thought it had stopped too early because it was so quiet I couldn't hear it unless I was in the kitchen! Extremely quiet. A variety of settings. Cleans perfectly. Dries well. Love the 3rd rack. Best dishwasher I've ever had.

This was a replacement for a Bosch Ascenta 100 that was over eight years old, my point of comparison. The LG's motor is a tiny bit quieter, but the noise of water flowing in is a little louder. The cycle times for the LG on an Auto cycle are right in a two hours and twelve minutes, thirteen longer than the Bosch. But the dishes are equally clean, and the third shelf is a miracle. All the small flat items that fought for space next to the coffee cups and glassware now have their own home. The tub is fully stainless, nicer than the Bosch "hybrid" tub. I'm pleased with the upgrade, but sad to only figure out the simple cleaning of a switch on the Bosch on the way to the donation center.

This is my first dishwasher. I wanted to make sure it was easy to use and I really liked that there are three racks. I'm enjoying this washer since I'm used to washing my dishes by hand. The only thing is that it does not dry the dishes all the way when I've seen other dishwashers do so. I've followed all the recommendations but still come out with wet dishes. Again, I used to hand wash so anything to me is an upgrade. That's my honest feedback!

So much more efficient and quieter than our previous machine ever was. Has an accessible filter to help extend its life. Great delivery and installation as always.

Does a great job washing. It was relatively easy to install; all the connections are at the front bottom. You will need about 4 feet of electrical wire from the back wall to snake it under the unit to the connection. Note may need more if your box is on the left as the electrical is on the right when facing the dishwasher. The same holds true for the water connection; I used the 6foot braided hose at Home Depot. The filer inside is easy to take out and clean. The unit is quiet enough to turn it on and have a conversation right next to it. I would not think the noise will cause anyone a problem and the next level in decibal reduction is going to come at a premium price. Only con is the cycles are long. A Normal cycle without doing the heated dry is 2 hours 30 minutes; heated dry adds 30 minutes. However, there is a timed on feature so if you run it at night no big deal.

I'm am extremely happy with this dishwasher. First, it is the quietest DW I've ever had. So quiet, I couldn't tell it was actually working at first. Second, I love the stainless steel interior, which ensures me that the dishes are absolutely sanitized. Thirdly, it has large capacity, and the extra silverware/utensil tray at the top is extremely handy for large handled knives, spoons and spatulas, etc. Lastly, the dryer uses convection heat so no heating element to worry about. I do recommend a rinse aid as it really makes the glasses sparkle. So far I am very happy. This is an exceptional DW, well worth the price tag. I highly recommend.
