We have had this dishwasher for about 5 months. Not only do I have to inspect all my dishes to see which ones ACTUALLY got clean during the POTS AND PANS cycle... but I also have to have a towel handy to dry all the dishes! This is the WORST dishwasher ever. I wish I had known before purchasing. We are now STUCK WITH A LEMON!!!!
We also purchased an LG refrigerator about 5 years ago and haven't had any problems with it and recently bought the LG range and like that too... I guess they should stick with what they are good at... If I could've rated this with ZERO stars, I would have!
No, I do not recommend this product.

We got this dishwasher installed in our new home in March of 2011. At first, it was nice however never cleaned that well, unfortunately. I always prerinse and remove loose and stuck on food from our dishes, and even doing this, the dishwasher still left residue all over our dishes especially on our silverware. It also requires you to use a rinse agent to dry properly. Even then, sometimes the dishes come out drenched. Our biggest issue, sadly, is the constant noise. About 3 months after we got it, it started making a very loud grinding sound. We called LG to have a technician come out to fix it under warranty, and they did. Unfortunately, three weeks later, same grinding noise. So we called back and AGAIN repaired. 10 months later, it's out of warranty, and making the same horrible loud grinding noise. Repair cost: $400. Save your money and buy something else.
No, I do not recommend this product.

We should have read the reviews of this DW before purchasing it! This DW has no options to open/fold sections of the racks, so loading is limited to mainly flat plates. The flatware containers will accommodate only very slim-handled items. Worst of all, we have found no type of detergent that dissolves without often running 2 cycles. Top rack items and flatware need rewashing, even if all are carefully rinsed before loading into DW. Oil on dishes or flatware does not wash off. From other reviews, we're not waiting for DW to break or leak - it's being replaced by a non-LG product!!!
No, I do not recommend this product.

We made the horrible mistake of NOT purchasing the extended warranty. People - please please PLEASE - purchase the extended warranty with ANY LG appliance you may purchase. I had to call 4 repair places before I found one which handled LG appliances because LG does NOT make their replacement parts available to the smaller businessman. Then we found out it would be more cost effective to REPLACE our dishwasher (only 30 months old) than to fix it. We obviously chose a different brand...one which my neighborhood appliance repairman could service if the situation were to arise.
And may I add - when this same repairman serviced another appliance I had for years, he warned me that if I had problems with this dishwasher, that it could be a huge financial problem. He did not even add at that time that he could not access the parts.
No, I do not recommend this product.

We already have an LG Refrigerator that I'm happy with, so, we decided to look at their Dishwashers when we were ready to replace the one that came with our house.
Although the information about the washer said that it was pretty quiet, I must say I was surprised at HOW quiet it was! I'm very happy with it. I guess I'm becoming a true LG Fan. ;-)

Unit worked well for 25 months, then came the LE code. Contacted LG customer service, submitted claim to cover parts and labor. Took 1 week for approval, another week to located a local LG authorized service provider (I ended up finding a service provider for them after waiting 5 days, provider is 50 miles away). Currently waiting on LG to send the work release authorization letter to the service provider. I decided to check in again after 4 days had past. LG stated the proper paper work was not sumitted to the correct department till yesterday, it will now be another 3-5 business days. Over all the dishwasher looks great, cleans well when working and is very quite. But if you ever have to call LG customer service - I wish you the best of Luck!!!

We have had this model for 25 months. At 12 months and 21 days, the main pump went out, which is a $300 repair--LG was kind enough to honor the 12 month parts & service warranty and replace it. At 24 months and 24 days, the drain pump started squealing--LG did NOT honor the 24 month parts warranty and the estimate to repair is $175. There was 1 other service call necessary where a retaining screw came out of the washer and got caught in the disposer. 3 service calls in 2 years. We clean all of our dishes before running the dishwasher and we run it about 5 days a week for a family of 4. It worked fine and it was quiet. But a major appliance that needs repair (2 of them major) in 2 years is completely unacceptable. It's a cheap piece of junk. Don't buy it! Rather than throwing more money at a terrible dishwasher, I will be buying a new one. You can bet it won't be an LG.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Unit failed after 25 months
Warranty is pending. Family always washes rinses dishes off prior to putting in dishwasher.
Service man fixed unit after LE code came up. The unit worked for 3 cycles and went into the same failure code.,
Sericeman said that the unit is not as durable as others and cheap metal is used.
This comes from LG's factory authoirzed service agent.
I asked LG to review the warranty.
Waiting for response.
Part and Labor to fix and install the new part is 60% of a new unit installed.
What is the point to fix vs put in a new unit.
It almost seems as LG views this as a disposable appliance and not a long term appliance.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This DW was terrible when first installed, I increased my water temp, changed detergents several times and even had 2 service calls. They stated there was nothing wrong with it, it was working as good as LG dishwashers work (not very well). Over 15 calls to LG and they would not deal with it. 2 calls to my local HomeDepot and I got it replaced! Thanks HD. would not recommend LG!

The reviews were all over the map for this thing but having a kitchen and laundry room full of LG appliances already we took a chance and purchased it anyway.
Let me start off by saying that not only is this a fantastic dishwasher but we have never had the problems I've read in previous reviews.
My dishes, pots and pans, baby items... etc come out clean every single time. All of my glassware, stonewear and silverware are bone dry at the end of the cycle. My plastic items are still a little wet but that is true with every dishwasher.
I load this thing to the limit and run it once a day (at least). It is quiet and very energy efficient. The cycles take a long time. This bothered me at first but now I run it at bedtime so it doesn't matter.
I love that it has a sanitary rinse- I use it almost every time. I've never had to use the pot scrub option because the regular cycle works so well.
This was a great purchase- I'm so glad we took a chance on it. We will continue to purchase LG appliances.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this LG dishwasher from Home Depot to replace my 10-year-old cheap GE dishwasher. And I have it for two months now. It's quite, looks good but just not doing what it supposes to do: clean the dishes. Even the detergent can still be found inside the dishwasher. I tried many ways: quick wash, normal wash with extra rinse, using liquid and solid detergents. All I got is dirty dishes.
Called LG customer service couple times, and got a service man trying to fix the problem but no success.
I wish I can replace this LG junk with cheap GE dishwasher, at least it works.
To me, life is good without LG dishwasher.
No, I do not recommend this product.

The hose pipe and the water disposal system died in the first month. LG support sent in a person to replace and clean the system. Since then it has been working fine again.

I have had this model for 2 1/2 years and have had nothing but problems with the seals leaking and the compressor broke right before my warranty expired. Lg did come and fix but it broke again 4mos later when my warranty was expired and now looking for a new dishwasher, anything other than LG. very dissapointed with customer service, cant even understand the agent when calling and was told it was essentually my problem to fix. The repair shop who fixed first time basically told me i'd be better purchasing a maytag!! Thats what i'm doing.

This was my first LG product, and now will be my last. The dishwasher is quiet, but actual cleaning power is minimal. After 13 months (out of warranty), the heating element failed. After 22 months, the door spring failed. After 30 months the motor failed. This unit has also dumped water on the floor several times, and for the money, it was a complete waste of time. I do not recommend this product at all.
