Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher is fine. I don’t love the rack set up

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DO NOT BUY and DO NOT BUY AN APPLIANCE AT BEST BUY! This is hands down the worst dishwasher I've every owned. The day after this dishwasher was installed, it started leaking. I immediately called Best Buy to exchange it for a different model (LG dishwashers are affordable, but notoriously bad, come to find out, but it's highly likely this dishwasher is defective). Best Buy customer service gave me the complete runaround and gave me the wrong information, resulting in a 2-week delay. By that time, the dishwasher was no longer returnable. I'm not one to write negative reviews, but I had to in this case. So, now I have to beg LG to replace the dishwasher, which they likely will since I've owned it less than a month. Best Buy is the worst. Their customer service is a joke! Go to Home Depot or Lowe's to purchase appliances. Or buy directly from the manufacturer.

Posted .Hi there. We understand how concerning it must be to experience a leaking dishwasher right after installation and the challenges you've faced with resolving the issue. While LG appliances are designed for reliability, occasional defects can occur. We recommend contacting Best Buy directly for more details about their return and exchange policy for defective products. You can find this information here: Best Buy Return & Exchange Policy - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/help-topics/return-exchange-policy/pcmcat260800050014.c?id=pcmcat260800050014.

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the worst dishwasher I have ever owned. It does not clean, the dishes come out dirty after a 2 hour cycle. I have tried pre washing, pre rinsing, running hot water, changing the detergent and this machine does not work. I have called Best Buy for help but they pass me on to LG who is utterly useless. They tell me the same thing over and over again and the machine does not clean. I paid for extra protection which is clearly a waste of money as I am paying for nothing. I only wanted help via a tech to come and look at it but they will not send one. I will never buy from Best Buy again and never buy an LG. I would have been better off saving my money and washing my dishes by hand.

Posted .Hi there, LoraK. We understand to hear about your experience with the LDFN4542S dishwasher. If the unit is not cleaning properly, we recommend checking the filter, spray arms, and loading arrangement to ensure optimal performance. A Machine Clean cycle using a dishwasher cleaner can also help improve wash results.

It cleans dishes
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good affordable. doesn't heat enough to dry all the way so lots of wet dishes when cycle is over. other than that, so far so good. I've only used it 4 times to date

I would recommend this to a friendLove LG products
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love our LG dishwasher! Excellent quality as usual.
I would recommend this to a friendThink twice about this one
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This model does not have a heating element and therefore the dishes do not dry. It only has a fan to dry the dishes after a cycle and therefore, it leaves water spots (even with the jet dry liquid) and for me the dishes never seem clean. I wish I had known this before purchasing. I would have bought a different brand or model. Unfortunately, I don't use my dishwasher enough to have noticed the issues in time to return for another machine. I'll have to purchase another machine (as soon as I pay this relatively expensive one off) and, as a result, I am not a happy camper. I will likely not buy an LG and I'll definitely will purchase a machine with a heating element.
