Mediocre
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Normal wash cycle is long. Third rack is over rated. Shows finger prints. But I needed the solid black and this was only one available.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While it is not bad at all, the time it takes to wash, the way it dries, and the spacing on the bottom shelf leaves something to be desired.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBroke after a year of use
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought in May 2023, I've been running a cycle a day. Of course after 1 year of use, the unit starts having problems with the control board. Control board was replaced once already in early May 2024, but I'm still having issues in October 2024. Contacted both Best Buy and LG about this. Since I don't have coverage and I am beyond the 1 year since purchase, I was told it might be better to just get another dishwasher since the price of repair might be as high as getting a new one.

Died in less than a month
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed in that the unit died after less than three weeks. Geek Squad came to fix, but the same message recurred the next time we ran the dishwasher and the cycle could not be completed. Replaced it with another brand.

Junk
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this dishwasher for less than 2 years and it has already broken. The part needed to fix it is over $500. Not worth buying. You might as well buy a cheap one because these "more expensive" units just don't last.

Dr.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not a good product at all. I woukd like to substitute for another product
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from LG Digital Customer Care
Posted .Hi, Abdiwelim. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Dishwasher (LDFN4542S) model. We understand that it hasn’t lived up to your expectations. We strive to provide high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations. While product substitution isn't something we handle directly through reviews, we’d love the opportunity to turn this around for you.
If your dishwasher isn’t working as it should, just double-check that the water supply line is fully open and that there aren’t any big dishes blocking the spray arms, since that can impact how well it cleans. Running it on the High Temp and Heavy cycle can also help with those tougher loads.
We’d love to dive deeper into your situation and find the best solution for you. Feel free to send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport so our team can assist you directly. We’re here for you. ^Juvy
