||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The spacing of the racks is awkward and makes it difficult to use the space effectively. Also, it doesn’t get dishes as clean as my old Whirlpool used to. Slightly disappointed.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Price was excellent, other than i had to pay an extra $200 for the installer to put an outlet in because the old dishwasher was hard wired. We had a tech out already to look at it because the dishes do not dry well. He said he suggested a replacement but we still havent heard from Best Buy about the status for 2 weeks.

Great dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher is working great. Install went great.
I would recommend this to a friendDefinitely a downgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a Maytag, but decided since I have an LG stove and fridge may as well get the dishwasher. First problem, the racks have larges gaps in them so the dishes don't fit well in them. It's also much louder than our Maytag. It does an awful job at cleaning. Also the LG connect is kind of a joke. The phone has to be right next to it for it to connect, there's no remote start. The top rack barely cleans silverware, all in all the interior or the dishwasher felt much smaller than my Maytag. Also it barely dries.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this dishwasher. It is quiet and easy to use. When a cycle is done it plays a lovely tune. It also has a narrow top rack for items like tupperware lids—love! My area is notorious for hard water that used to leave marks on my glassware, but I haven’t seen marks since using this dishwasher

Posted .Drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat that remains in the tub after the heated rinse is performed. If your dishwasher is far away from your home’s hot water heater, it may be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a wash cycle, to ensure that cool water is purged from the hot water lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of hot water from start to finish. Using the High Temp setting also aids in keeping the inner drum temperature and dishes hotter before drying begins. LG dishwashers are designed to be used in conjunction with a rinse aid. Using a rinse aid will maximize the amount of water that has already been sheeted away from the dishes before the dry cycle begins. If a rinse aid is used and the performance still needs a boost, adjust the amount of rinse aid used. 2 is the default setting, but if necessary set the level to 3 so more rinse aid is used. Water tends to bead rather than sheet of plastic and nonstick surfaces, making them more difficult to dry. If washing plastic items in a Normal cycle, select the Extra Dry or Night Dry option or both for better drying results. When the rinse aid is empty, the Extra Dry option is selected automatically. Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before opening the door. If the door is opened in the middle of the dry cycle, the heat that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work will escape. This will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle finishes. ^Jennifer
DO NOT BUY, WONT EVEN LAST 2 YRS!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this dishwasher and after less than two years old it started flickering then shut off during a cleaning. We contacted LG support to try to reset it, and then it wouldn't turn on at all! Of course, there are no more warranties on it and they want to charge $400 for a service call!! This is the 2nd LG appliance that we're having to replace that was less than two years old. I will not be buying any more LG products, and hopefully others will learn from my mistakes.

Posted .Hi there, Kathleen. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your situation with the LDFN4542S dishwasher, and about the issues you're experiencing with it. We truly appreciate your feedback and would like to assist you in resolving this.
If the dishwasher isn't turning on after trying the reset, it could be related to an issue with the control board, power supply, or another internal component. We recommend checking the circuit breaker to ensure the unit is receiving power, and also verifying that the door latch is securely closed, as the dishwasher will not run if the door is not properly latched.
If the unit is still unresponsive, we suggest reaching out to us through private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport. While your warranty may have expired, we may still be able to guide you through additional troubleshooting or assist with available options for your situation.
