Not worth the aggravation
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Will it clean your dishes? Yes. Will you hate it? Also yes. It functions as a dishwasher and does a good job. The racks are okay, but some of the adjustable ones don't stay in place very well. Worst thing about this unit, though is the front control buttons. It takes barely any pressure to activate the buttons. Even when locked, if you barely touch the power button in mid-cycle, it will shut all the way off and you have to start it all over again. Nothing in between. The sounds on the buttons are irritating, too. Do not install this in an area where people are likely to be hanging out in the kitchen and leaning on the counter. Needs caution tape around it while it's running. Very frustrating.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works well. I wish it had a quick cycle. It does not dry well.
I would recommend this to a friendDishes are clean but not dry.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've had this dishwasher for almost a year. My main complaint is it's inability to actually dry the dishes. In our old dishwasher the dishes were never perfectly dry and I understand 100% dry isn't likely and I'm okay with that. However, with this dishwasher the entire inside is still wet and the dishes are still very wet. This is with the "Extra Dry" cycle enabled AND the "Night Dry" enabled. The Night Dry turns on the fan to circulate air for an extended period of time and even with that the dishes are still extremely wet. I would not purchase this dishwasher again.

Serious Control Panel issues.

Posted .Hi, Robert. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We understand how important it is for your appliance to remain dependable beyond the first year of use. If the control panel is unresponsive or malfunctioning, one helpful step is to perform a power reset by turning off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds and then restoring power. This can help clear any temporary glitches in the control board. You can also find product support and additional tips here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwAYG-dBZhY.

Posted .Hi, FotiosM. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We understand the importance of having a unit that cleans effectively and operates at a comfortable noise level, especially when the wash cycle sounds louder than expected, and the button tones feel too strong.
Try running the dishwasher without the High Temp and Extra Dry options, as they can increase noise. You can adjust the chime volume in Settings > Volume on the control panel. For cleaning tips, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-not-cleaning--20151094745547. If you need further assistance, email us at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com.
