Posted .Hi, Matthew. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We understand the importance of having a dishwasher that delivers a thorough clean, especially when transitioning from hand washing.
One helpful step is to ensure the spray arms are rotating freely and not blocked by large items, as restricted movement can reduce cleaning performance. You can also try activating the High Temp and Dual Zone options, which increase wash intensity for tougher loads. Here’s a helpful guide on improving wash results: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-not-cleaning--20151094745547. If you need further assistance, feel free to send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We're here to help. ^Juvy
Great Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife says she's in love. It works well, and the dishes are super clean. Installation was straightforward without hitches. The organization of spaces on all 3 levels is very well planned. The cycles for a quick wash are pelpful.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a good size. I like how there is a thin draw on top to place long utensils. It does make some sound when using. Some people hear a high pitch sound, but I don't hear that.
I would recommend this to a friendInstallation was horrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My one star is mainly for the installation. First, the dishwasher was installed dented, which I didn’t notice until after the installers left as they kept the plastic on the front. I had to take the plastic off. When I did, I saw the dent. Second, the first time I ran it, a burnt plastic odor grew stronger and stronger until it filled my downstairs and upstairs. I didn’t know at the time, but another group of installers who came to replace it with a different dishwasher like 5 weeks later pointed out right away that it had been hardwired wrong by the previous installers! The electrical wires weren’t attached to the junction box, but were hanging out onto my kitchen floor under the dishwasher and the burnt plastic smell was from the wires melting the one time I ran it! That could have started a fire!!! I had further issues with the replacement dishwasher (those installers chipped my countertop by the dishwasher, dented my fridge, and installed the replacement dishwasher tilted backwards). I will never buy appliances from Best Buy again, or anything that involves an installation. Now for the dishwasher review, the one time I ran the dishwasher, the dishes weren’t all the way dry the next morning and there was a lot of water still in the dishwasher. Hitting cancel to discharge can help with sucking the sitting water out. It was also rather loud when running and extremely loud when discharging into the pipe under my kitchen sink, much louder discharging than the old Maytag that came with my house. (Having more drain hose looped down under the sink seems to help reduce the discharge noise on other dishwashers, so it probably would do the same for this one.) It was also easy to accidentally turn on when standing in front of it and working on the counter. It plays a little tune though so at least you know you accidentally turned it on. It was easy to open and use otherwise, so I am disappointed that I had to return it because of the horrible installation.

Does NOT live up to its advertised low dba rating!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We upgraded to this LG dishwasher because we wanted to get something quieter than our current Amana one. A major reason we bought this one instead of something cheaper is because it was advertised as 48dba. But, while it is quieter than our old one, it does not come close to being only 48dba! My decimeter shows it to operate between 55-65dba! (and yes, it is flush mounted to the top and sides of the cabinet opening) It cleans just fine, but it is not very quiet.

Quiet but doesn't clean well
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this just over a year ago to replace a 20+ year old Frigidaire model. It looks great, is much quieter than the old unit, but doesn't clean dishes nearly as well. I've tried all the settings and use the best rated detergent pods, but still am left with spotty or dirty looking dishes.

Works fine.

I would recommend this to a friendIs there a setting less than 2 hours
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cleans very well and that steam is a plus. I need to study the instruction guide because all the settings go for over 2 hours and it must be user error on my end.

Do your homework before purchasing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely disappointed in this dishwasher, it does not have a heating element to heat the wash and rinse water and more importantly to dry the dishes. I would NOT recommend this dishwasher to anyone. Who manufactures a dishwasher with out a heating element. . . It does a nice cleaning job but you have to run your hot water to scalding before starting the wash cycle. Another issue is the bottom rack does not have enough tines.
