Poor excuse for a dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this dishwasher new and have had it installed for about two weeks. I am sorry to report that this was a very bad decision on our part. First, the third rack at the top for large serving spoons, etc makes it so that the middle rack must be mounted lower in the dishwasher and then the bottom rack must also be mounted lower. The whole setup means that the water arms must be so close to the bottom of the racks that they hit the dishes that stick even just a fraction of an inch below the racks. Another contributing factor are the racks themselves. The bottom of the middle and lower racks are poorly constructed so that the things like bowls with their curved edges stick out below the rack so that the water arm hits them, interfering with the water flow. Sorry to say, we are past the return date for this item and we'll have to live with it until it dies. Perhaps we'll get lucky and it will die quickly.

Nice buy!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had never owned a new dishwasher. I think I made the perfect first choice. This is perfect for a 2 person household. I wash every other day, even though it has a half load cycle. Very quiet.

Never had this much trouble with a dishwasher...
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the rack system on this bugger and that's about it. It is, beyond doubt, THE most temperamental dishwasher I've ever owned. Only had it for a year and it's malfunctioned multiple times. It doesn't like the soap? We use Cascade pods. It doesn't like it if we run it on turbo instead of normal. Oh, excuse me! It constantly sends error messages and we are constantly fiddling with the darn thing, trying to get it to run or empty or some such thing. Never again...

Posted .Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542B) model. We’re glad to hear that you enjoy the rack system, but we understand your concern with the constant malfunctions and error messages. We strive to provide high-quality products and ensure a smooth experience. To help address some of the issues you’ve mentioned, here are a few steps we can try: While Cascade pods are typically compatible, certain dishwashers might be sensitive to specific detergent brands or types. We recommend experimenting with a different detergent (like powder or liquid) to see if that resolves the issue, as some machines respond better to certain forms of detergent. Regarding error codes, please visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-error-code-list--20150933422943 to obtain more information. Please feel free to reach out to us via private message on social media @LGUSSupport with the specific error codes or issues you're encountering. We’re here to help get your dishwasher back on track.
We appreciate your patience and feedback, and we’re committed to assisting you in getting the most out of your appliance. ^Juvy

Not worth the aggravation
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Will it clean your dishes? Yes. Will you hate it? Also yes. It functions as a dishwasher and does a good job. The racks are okay, but some of the adjustable ones don't stay in place very well. Worst thing about this unit, though is the front control buttons. It takes barely any pressure to activate the buttons. Even when locked, if you barely touch the power button in mid-cycle, it will shut all the way off and you have to start it all over again. Nothing in between. The sounds on the buttons are irritating, too. Do not install this in an area where people are likely to be hanging out in the kitchen and leaning on the counter. Needs caution tape around it while it's running. Very frustrating.

Posted .Hi, David. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We appreciate you letting us know about the water leakage and electrical issues.
For this model, one helpful step is to check that the inlet hose and drain hose connections are fully tightened and sealed, as loose fittings can cause leaks that may appear to be internal. Running the unit on the Rinse cycle with no dishes inside can help identify if the leak is coming from the hose connections or inside the tub. You can review more details about installation and troubleshooting here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dishwasher-troubleshooting-leaking-issues--1390840766052. If further assistance is needed, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com so our team can provide tailored support for your unit. ^Juvy

Posted .Hi, Seena. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We understand how concerning it can be when your unit shows multiple error codes, especially within a few months of use. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations.
If your unit is within the manufacturer's warranty period, many repairs—including parts and labor—may be covered. For error codes like LE (motor issue), AE (leak detected), or FE (overfill error), we recommend resetting the unit by turning off the circuit breaker for about 10 minutes, then turning it back on. This can help clear temporary errors and restore function. For additional guidance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oZxKpoStHg.
Please don’t hesitate to send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport so we can look into your repair case, verify your warranty coverage, and work toward a resolution. We're here to make things easier and help you get back to enjoying your appliance. ^Juvy

Posted .Hi, there. Thanks for sharing your experience with your LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model.We understand the importance of your dishwasher operating smoothly without frequent maintenance. Our goal is to provide reliable, high-quality products that meet customer needs. While it's normal to occasionally clean the filter, doing so before every wash is unusual. A useful tip is to check for buildup in the sump area below the filter, as this can affect drainage and cycle completion. For more assistance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH9suWjA76A.
We'd love to help resolve any issues with your unit. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and our team will gladly assist you. ^Juvy
