Doesn't finish the job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using dishwashers that did a complete job, including drying the dishes, we were disappointed by the performance of this unit. The washing part is okay, but it is impossible to get the dishes dry. I made several calls to LG, but all they could say was to use extra dry and overnight dry (or whatever they call it). Finally, one LG agent said most new dishwashers do not have the heating element found in older dishwashers. Even with both drying options activated, when we opened the door we found the dishes and all interior surfaces covered with water, as if someone had just hosed down the inside. We returned it. Side note: The number of cycles and options is ridiculous. An "Auto" mode supposedly decides what the best cleaning method is. If that works, why are there so many other options? A "delicate" setting is for "fine china and stemware." What did people do before this setting was available? I suspect few modern homeowners have fine china.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from LG Digital Customer Care
Posted .Hello there! We understand your dissatisfaction with the LG LDFN4542S dishwasher. It’s important to know when a product doesn’t meet expectations, especially with drying performance. You may access this link related to your concern: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-LDFN4542S.ASSESNA
The newer models often use improved drying technologies like fan-assisted drying, which may differ from traditional heating elements. If the extra dry and overnight dry options didn’t help, it might be worth checking if the dishwasher's installation or water temperature settings are optimal.
Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport with your concerns, and we’ll do our best to address any issues and assist you further. We appreciate your feedback and are here to help. —Avril

Not Sure
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher appears to be doing a good job but we have already had an error code after 1 month stating a kinked hose. Probably during installation. Have had a lot of problems getting geek squad back out to fix and have been told that our manufacturing warranty will go away because we called the squad not the manufacturer. Doesn’t make sense and not very happy.

I would recommend this to a friend Good so far (5 months)
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a little noiser than it says. My old dishwasher was quiter but it didn't last (not sure if I can name drop but there is an E and a G in the name) so we switched to lg to try it out. I hope this was one does and the couple of noises here and there isn't a problem.
