||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this dishwasher in March of 2023 and started having issues with it around February 2024. The second rack kept falling out anytime you tried to push the rack all the way in. We spent the next 6 months going back and forth with Best Buy. Turns out the 2 year protection plan is useless if you're out of their service area (rural Colorado) and they wouldn't do anything past making a couple phone calls. When Best Buy found out that there are no third party service guys in our area either, they shrugged their shoulders and said sorry, your SOL on a $1000 dishwasher. Anyway, after wasting that six months, we went directly to LG who, after multiple phone calls with multiple people, couldn't understand the issue we were having, sent us a whole new rack (without the part that we *actually* needed to fix it) and we ended up buying the part to fix it ourselves. Worked for a couple months and is back to falling out when you close the rack. Half a dishwasher is pretty useless. Won't be buying more LG large appliances. And won't be working strictly with Best Buy for large appliances from here on out either.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this dishwasher almost 2 months ago. The top rack rail broke 2 weeks after. A new one was replaced with a new dishwasher. I am now on my 3rd dishwasher. The top rails are not very dependable. Hopefully, 3 is a charm or I will be buying a different brand.

Posted .Hi there! We understand your inquiry about your LG 24” Top Control Smart Built-In Dishwasher (Model LDTH7972D) and appreciate you letting us know how persistent rack rail issues have impacted your experience. Stability of your third rack is key for loading flexibility, so let’s try a quick troubleshooting step to ensure the rail and rollers are properly seated:
Troubleshooting Step:
• Re-seat and inspect the upper rack rollers and rail track:
Fully extend the upper rack and locate the two roller assemblies on each side.
Pop each roller off its track wheel and visually inspect for any plastic debris or misalignment.
Clean the track grooves with a soft cloth to remove buildup, then snap each roller back onto the rail—listen for an audible click to confirm it’s fully engaged.
Gently slide the rack in and out a few times to verify smooth, secure movement without lifting off the rails.

If the rack still feels loose or the rail appears damaged, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport. Our team will be more than happy to confirm your replacement rail’s part number, arrange for expedited shipment if needed, and guide you through proper installation to ensure your third rack stays dependable. We appreciate your patience and look forward to making sure three is indeed the charm for your LDTH7972D.

Not the best quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After one week of installing the dishwasher, the middle rack would not freely move. Upon attempting to draw out the rack with slight force, the rack's ball bearings began falling into the tub. Not a happy camper. I would not buy, nor recommend, this unit to anyone.

Posted .Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG LDTH7972S Dishwasher. We understand your inquiry, and we’re here to support you. The middle rack is designed with ball-bearing glides for smooth operation, and if these components become misaligned or dislodged during use or installation, it can affect movement. We recommend checking that the rack is seated evenly on both tracks and that the stoppers are securely in place.

If any part seems loose or out of position, we’d be happy to assist with identifying a solution or arranging service if needed. Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport so our team can help resolve this quickly. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to assist. —Renzo
