LG Dishwasher Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishes are still a bit wet when the cycle is completely finished. The rinse aid dispenser is full.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Interior is smaller than average dishwashers. Several dishes and knives are often left unwashed after each use. Tines are spaced too close together, leaving bowls stacked haphazardly. The black cover plate on the bottom front looks like an an afterthought, leaving a sloppy finish (why not white to match the rest of the d/w?) Also doubtful the touchscreen-like buttons will hold up over time - should have exchanged it when we had the chance

Posted .Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LDFN4542W. We understand how important it is for your dishwasher to offer both efficient cleaning and thoughtful design, and we appreciate your detailed feedback. To help improve wash performance, we recommend: Using the Dual Zone or Heavy cycle for more targeted cleaning, especially for utensils and densely packed loads.
Adjusting the upper rack height to better accommodate bowls and reduce stacking.
Ensuring dishes are spaced to allow water flow between items, and using rinse aid to enhance cleaning and drying. For more help, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCfwVIU18LQ. As for the exterior design and control panel, your insights are valuable and will be shared with our product team. You can find more tips and usage guides here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-LDFN4542W.ABWESNA. If you’d like help optimizing your cycles or have additional questions, feel free to email us at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We're here to help. ^Juvy
Not as good as the comments make it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The drying ability on this dishwasher is terrible, even with the extra 20 minutes, cups, bowls and other items have standing water. Even rated at 48dba, it has moments where the water valves and water are very noisy, but quiet other times so it kind of jolts you. And the dish stacking is terrible, we cannot place bowls on the bottom without them being flat which takes up lots of room. We do not use pots and pans in the bottom which it seems is the only way to utilize the space. The tine placement just does not work. The large 10 year sticker detracts the other wise nice looking front. The black stainless is very nice, does not print, and the top utensil tray is great. But it is going back to be replaced by a Bosch.

Posted .Hi, Seena. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We understand how concerning it can be when your unit shows multiple error codes, especially within a few months of use. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations.
If your unit is within the manufacturer's warranty period, many repairs—including parts and labor—may be covered. For error codes like LE (motor issue), AE (leak detected), or FE (overfill error), we recommend resetting the unit by turning off the circuit breaker for about 10 minutes, then turning it back on. This can help clear temporary errors and restore function. For additional guidance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oZxKpoStHg.
Please don’t hesitate to send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport so we can look into your repair case, verify your warranty coverage, and work toward a resolution. We're here to make things easier and help you get back to enjoying your appliance. ^Juvy
