    LG labels this device as Smart buy there’s nothing smart about this dishwasher. The only smart feature is NFC but it doesn’t work with iphones. No where in the product details do they mention it. After spending half the day installing it, i found out ut doesn’t do the one thing i bought it to do, run it from the app. Lg support is useless with help. I gave up after multiple attempts to get them to help me. I did my own research and figured i have no choice but to return it and get a different one. Inconvinenient for no reason. I dont understand the obsession to add “_SMART” to everything. You are just confusing people and causing annoyance for no reason

    This is the most disappointing appliance purchase I have ever made in my 67 years. The rack design has the stupidest design. Both top and bottom. I thought LG was a good brand but because of this purchase I will never buy anything LG ever again in my life. And I am going to spread the word. It's like a 2 year old designed it.

      Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542B) model. We understand your concern about a poorly designed rack system can really affect the usability of a dishwasher. We strive to provide high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations. We’d love to help make this right and assist you with possible solutions. A couple of things that might help: The dishwasher racks in some models can be adjusted to better fit different dish sizes. If you haven’t already, try adjusting the rack heights or configurations to optimize space. This could help improve the fit and performance of your unit. LG offers additional accessories like rack clips or basket options to further enhance storage and organization. This might provide a more customized solution for your needs. If the racks are malfunctioning or seem to be incorrectly designed for your needs, our team can send out a technician to assess the issue. Please reach out to us via @LGUSSupport on social media, and we’ll be happy to schedule a service call to see if there’s a potential fix or replacement option. ^Juvy LG

      Hello there. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the LDFN4542S dishwasher. We appreciate your patience as we work to address your concerns.

      The extended wash cycle time may be influenced by several factors, including the selected wash cycle, water temperature, and load size. To optimize the performance of your dishwasher, we recommend using the appropriate cycle for your dishes and ensuring that the water supply is adequate and hot enough for effective cleaning and drying.

      If you are experiencing prolonged drying times, ensuring that rinse aid is filled in the dispenser can significantly improve drying results. Additionally, properly loading the dishwasher to allow for effective water circulation and air drying can also contribute to better results.

      If you have specific questions or would like further assistance in optimizing your dishwasher's performance, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport with your contact details. Our team is here to assist you in achieving the best results from your appliance.

      Thank you for choosing LG, and we look forward to improving your experience. —Mau LG

      Hi, there. We appreciate you sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542B) model. We understand your concern about the cleaning and drying performance of the unit that is not meeting your expectations. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations.

      Let’s take a moment to make sure everything’s set up just right: try enabling the High Temp and Extra Dry settings for the best results. Don’t forget to use rinse aid—it’s super important, especially since this model uses condensation drying. Also, loading your dishes with enough space between them and facing them downward can really help with drying.

      If you need more assistance, feel free to check out these links: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-not-cleaning--20151094745547 and https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-not-drying-properly--20150621962758.

    When it worked it was ok, but recently it started showing AE error status, and the technician was not able to help. The unit has very short drain hose, and it was originally installed with an extender hose (installation by the professionals purchased at BestBuy). Now the technician claims the extension hose is a problem. It's a small kitchen, everything is close, the dishwasher is a couple of feet from the sink.

      Hello there, Thomas. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your situation, and we truly appreciate your feedback regarding your LG Dishwasher (Model: LDFN4542D). We want to ensure that your unit is working properly, so let’s explore some troubleshooting steps to get it back in shape.

      If your dishwasher isn’t cleaning properly, it could be due to a few common issues such as a dirty filter, improperly loaded dishes, or food residue inside the unit. Here are some things to check:

      Ensure Proper Dish Loading: Make sure the dishes are not overlapping and that they’re not touching the nozzles. Adjust the rack heights to avoid obstruction, and load cutlery in a standing position for optimal cleaning performance.

      Clean the Filter: Pull out the lower basket and remove the filter. Rinse it under running water to remove any debris and reinstall it carefully to ensure it’s properly secured.

      Run a Machine Clean Cycle: Remove any dishes, then fill the detergent dispenser with citric acid or a dishwasher cleaner. Activate the Machine Clean cycle by pressing the [POWER] button, then holding [HEAVY] for 3 seconds before pressing [START].

    Didn’t work and when I had to return it, the manager never apologized or gave me any other options or suggestions or discount for any of my troubles.I had to pay a contractor to install the dishwasher and after all of that it only turned on for 1 minute and turned off. Very dissatisfied and disappointed with the customer service. The dishwasher was filled with water when we got it home.

We totally get your concerns about the drying performance, and we're here to help you make the most out of your dishwasher. This model uses an energy-efficient drying system that works best with rinse aid during the final rinse. Ensure rinse aid is filled and select “Extra Dry” or “Night Dry” for better results.
