Very quiet and love all stainless steel design
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good not sure about long term reliability though. Very quiet, I don't need to change volume on TV, 3rd tray really helps if you got chop sticks

Great purchase, highly recommend!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is fabulous. It cleans beautifully without me having to pre-wash or rinse everything. It dries well but sometimes has water sitting on the bottom of my glasses that have an indent.

I would recommend this to a friend Problems of tile floor in front of dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finally got my new dishwasher installed on Dec 19. It was delivered on Dec 9. Problem was I still work long hours and needed a Sat appointment. They could not install on Dec 9 due to required modifications to the floor. The tile floor was installed after the dishwasher. 2 half tiles prevented the removal of the old dishwasher. I'm elderly, but I beat out the 2 partial tiles, then rescheduled the dishwasher installation. Now I need to get the tiles back in my floor. Merry Christmas!

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.

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

Dish Washer
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great washing machine. Washes all dishes. Plastic things come out still wet, but that's most machines.
I would recommend this to a friend Great dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We needed a new dishwasher for several reasons. This met all our wants. The only issue is it still does not dry plastic, even with the extra drying. Also, if leaned on, it is really easy to accidentally start. A quick touch on the power button stops that. Overall, happy with purchase.

I'm liking my LG. Great dish washer, great value.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, cleans great. Easy to install because of factory installed supply hose adapter and easy to level thanks to foot design. I wish LG would explain what the download cycles do though.

Does the job when it's working, control panel weak
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does the job well when its working! Within year and half had to do two services both pertaining to control panel. First time the handle broke, literally cracked open had to get it replaced. Now again the control panel is behaving weird and it's making a noise when we start the machine and lights on panel do disco dance... literally! We are scheduled to get this repaired, but the control panel quality is not good at all.

Nice Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far we're quite happy with it. It's much quieter than our old one and the dishes are clean. Adding the rinse agent really helps with the drying.
