LG Dishwasher Reviews

7 year-old LDF7810ST (with very little use until recently) gave LE code. Replaced motor & since old part was riveted shut, husband drilled it open to take a look: what a mess. This must have been a defective part from the beginning and ultimately made a terrible grinding noise like it was chewing up silverware, however, it was just the motor grinding itself into pieces. Re-assembled & still wouldn't operate. He checked wiring & voltages, only to find that the noise filter has a 120V black wire and white wire coming in one end of the filter and coming out the white wire is 120V. He can't figure out how this ran in the first place, but has anyone else noted this problem? Do we throw good money after bad & keep trying to fix this sad excuse for a dishwasher?

Our LG dishwasher has a odor coming from the inside after a wash cycle after the dishes are removed and it is empty for several hours. Have tried pouring water in the bottom and pumping it out operating the pump by pressing the on button, normal then normal and power scrub together to pump water out of bottom. Tried wiping it down after a cycle, no help, poor design, wish I had never purchased this unit. My friend has the same unit with the same problems, will not dry dishes, odors, is this really a safe dishwasher to use. If it has a odor that means it is not getting hot enough to sanitize the dishes.

Dishwasher LG LDF7561 - Every time we run the dishwasher it produces strong asphalt like smell which is coming from black insulation. LG warranty refuses to do anything about it stating even though it smells there is nothing we can do. It is not the first time we have problems with LG products. We had countless problems with the expensive French door LG refrigerator. Stay away from LG products and the worst warranty service!!!

After reading the other reviews, I felt compelled to write a response as well. The dishwasher does not clean the dishes and I rinse my dishes before I put them in. The odor has never gone away as well and when I read that someone had done testing and the dishwasher is off-gassing, I was really annoyed. Good luck on the 4 year extended warranty because LG sends someone out to look at the problem. They call tech help and say the problem is not covered under the warranty. Does anyone know how to fight LG on this problem? It seems there are enough of us who are fed up with their products. I also have a LG French Door that has a foul odor as well. I am really disgusted with their products.

As per other reviewers, this Dishwasher does not clean dishes even after running through a two-hour cycle. Have had a repair person out to inspect and cannot find the problem - just doesn't do the job. He commented that he has numerous other complaints that this product does not clean dishes. Neighbors also have the same product and are not satisfied with its performance. Come on LG - own up and do something to rectify a) the problem with the cleaning cycle and b) the length of time to clean, and c) how do we fix the problem without it costing MORE!

Dishwasher from day 1 never cleaned the dishes that well. The tines in the lower rack will not allow my dishes that are concave shaped to stand up no matter what I do. The dishes never come out dry no matter what cycle I choose. The dish washer has a terrible odor and so do the dishes and now the motor makes a high pitched squealing noise. I am buying a new dishwasher from Kenmore and never again buying another LG product. I have had the product since July 2013 and don't want to go through the replacement hassle with LG because I know this product is inferior.

This dishwasher takes 2 hours to run a cycle! With a 2 hour cycle, you would expect spotless dishes. What a joke. I never have dishes that come clean in this dishwasher. The spaces between the tines are poorly spaced so that I am forced to use every other space or the dishes rest against one another. It holds about 1/2 the dishes that my old Kenmore held and doesn't get the dishes clean at all. This is the worst dishwasher I have ever owned. I have tried everything to get it to clean better. I run dishwasher cleaner through it all the time. I turned my hot water heater up to scalding to try to improve it's performance. I have used pre-treater, rinse aid, different detergents, etc. It is just plain awful! I wish I had read these reviews before I bought this piece of junk. Never again! I'm going back to Kenmore.

Have this LG model for over a year, several service calls with no ultimate satisfaction. Dishes are not really clean and not dry. Would never buy another LG dishwasher.

Bought new LG dishwasher at Sears, not knowing there was a service bulletin on this particular machine concerning a door design flaw that caused a leak. When ours started leaking shortly after the warranty expired, LG wouldn't do anything. Customer service was rude, confrontational, and borderline belligerent. We were unable to get the dishwasher to quit leaking without spending more on it than it was worth, so we yanked it and replaced it with a Whirlpool. It works great. We will NEVER buy any LG product ever again.

Purchased LG dishwasher about 15 months ago. After installation, we noticed a burning odor when it was on the drying cycle. We assumed it was just the "new" smell that would soon go away. It never did. After about nine months, we noticed an error code (hE) and that the dishes weren't drying well. Called LG and got a local repair company to come out. They replaced the motor assembly, but the code was still there. Had the repair person out again and they replaced the circuit/control board. Nada. Called again, just days before our one-year warranty had expired and they came out to replace the motor once again and this time it worked. No odor.

To anyone seeking advice on an LG dishwasher, take heed to all of the complaints listed. I have experienced most of the complaints listed from the machine not rinsing, not drying, not cleaning. The worst appliance I have ever had in 40 years. I have not tried other LG products and I'm not compelled to do so. However, Do not!!!!! Do not purchase this product line in a Dishwasher because you will be disappointed to no end. I'm not going to fight it. It's not worth my time but I will never deal with this company again. I may have lost 350 dollars over the last 3 years but they lost my business and not just mine because I'm spreading the word.

I have tried several things to get my dishes clean in my LG dishwashers but they rarely come out acceptable. In most cases, what's left wipes off with a dry cloth. I expect a dishwasher to clean the dishes spotless without my needing to clean them first. I will never buy another LG Dishwasher.

Our LG dishwasher was installed 9 months ago and white marks (not water marks) are appearing at the top of the panel and on the handle. We only use stainless steel cleaner and are not able to remove the marks as it appears the finish is coming off. One of the marks on the handle is the size of a quarter. LG is unable to help as it's a cosmetic issue. Is anyone having problems with the finish on their dishwasher? We'd like to determine what's causing the problem to avoid further marks. I hate to see what the dishwasher is going to look like in 2 years...

LG Dishwasher Model LDF6810ST - The dryer and the main board burned up in less than 7 years. You pay that much for a dishwasher it ought to last longer. Their products are junk.

LG appliances have been the worst ever. My dishwasher failed (fire developed) after a little over 2 years. My refrigerator - only 16 months old - failed and I lost hundreds of dollars of food and after one week, it's still not repaired. My LG microwave lasted 2 months and had to be replaced. No more LG. Lousy goods.

In January of 2011, we purchased an LG dishwasher (Model LDF7920ST). We have had continual issues with the drainage system. A repair person has attended to this 3 times and again it is not draining. The dishes are not clean when they are run through a cycle and I have to manually pre-wash the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. LG does not stand behind their faulty or poorly made products. You can guarantee that we will never buy another LG product again.

Our LG dishwasher has never (since the day we had it installed) cleaned our dishes or dried them. I first noticed that after carefully rinsing all residue off my dishes, they still were dirty after running them through the normal cleaning cycle. I then washed my dishes and started using the power scrub feature every time and noticed the dishes had either food or soap reside on them and were never hot or dry after the washer stopped. I have to pre-wash everything I put into it and wipe off the soap afterward even though I use Jet-Dry. My dishes are barely warm when the 2-hour power scrub cycle is finished. I called LG support and after several questions, I realized that the customer service rep was going through a checklist in order to troubleshoot the root cause of the problem.

We purchased an LG dishwasher last year. Since it has been installed, the performance of this product has been terrible. The washing and drying cycle is terrible. I contacted LG, and they sent a repair service 3 times and it is not working better. Now that the warranty is not good anymore, they don't even want to consider a replacement. But it never worked well. It is the worst purchase I ever did and the worst experience ever. I still have many error codes and it is not even drying anymore. They replaced the whole motor after only 3 months. My next step is sending them a legal letter and filing a complaint about their products.

We purchased an LG LDF8072ST "PREMIUM" dishwasher from Best Buy on Dec. 12, 2012. Since it has been installed, the performance of this product has been terrible. The drying cycle is terrible and when I contacted LG, I was informed that this was the way it was supposed to work because it is a new advanced "HYBRID" drying system?? Even when we put it on extra dry, it still did not dry the dishes. With the performance still terrible, 4 weeks ago, the dishwasher quit working completely.

It has E1 water leak signal and there is no water leak and it's a waste time and money pushing the off button then restarting it. I just to have it go through a complete cycle again. It does this one out of 10 times of use.

We replaced a 15-year-old Kenmore dishwasher with an LG 5811 dishwasher. We installed the Sears machine in my friend's home. After 2 years, the dishwasher stopped working and I had to repair a broken wire in the LG door. A year later, I had to fix another broken wire. When I spoke to LG, they were not aware of wires breaking and suggested I replace the motor assembly. I found a solution on the internet. The LG machine was quiet but never cleaned dishes as well as the rather-loud Sears.

When we built our house in 2006, I specifically requested LG appliances. This was a huge mistake. Within 2 1/2 years, the dishwasher quit working. I went to LG's site and found a repairman. He proceeded to tell me that the motor had burned out and it would be over $300 to repair. LG said that since it was a 2-year warranty, they could not help me. Last year, the temperature control on my range went out. The temp would be set for 350 and within a few minutes, the entire kitchen was filled with smoke because it had scorched everything in the oven.

We purchased all new LG appliances for our new summer home. In our third year of use, our dishwasher began to error out with a 1E code and would shut down. We were able to restart it and it would complete its cycle. That worked for a short time and then it started to error out all of the time. We contacted LG and they told us to contact a repair service. We purchased a new part and that did not work, so LG sent us a new control panel. That did not work. We have taken the machine out and put back in, made sure it was level and it still did not work. We now have an immaculate dishwasher that does not work. Now within the last year, our numbers on our stove clock have been burning out one by one. LG does not stand by their products and had an "oh well" attitude. We will never purchase another LG product.

We have a four-year-old LG Dishwasher (LDF6920ST) that caught fire at 2 am in the morning a few weeks ago. Thankfully, our oldest son was awake and heard a loud popping noise that caused him to investigate and we were able to turn the unit off before it burned down our kitchen. The repairman who looked at the unit found that the main circuit board in the door caught fire. It is important to note that the motor has burned in the unit as well. A member of the LG "executive" team that works on these problems told me that fires happen in all sorts of LG appliances and that they repair the unit! We are completely afraid of this product, based on the many other examples of fires we have read about and we want a refund. Don't buy LG.

I purchased a $1,200, top of the line LG, in September of 2009. November of 2011 the machine came up with an error code of 1E, which the manual states a water inlet valve. So the part was replaced. Guess what? That wasn't the issue, so I contacted LG, and they had me go over some troubleshooting over the phone with no luck. So they gave me appliance repair centers that only deal with LG. To make a long story short, after having 2 parts swapped out - one was for $91.00, the inlet valve was $54.00 and another $91.00 yet to be paid to the appliance repair guy. Oh and I forgot about the computer board (which only has a 5 year warranty) was replaced - I have a $1,200.00 dishwasher that does not work!

The worst dishwasher ever! I have had a 20-year-old cheap dishwashers leave my dishes sparkling clean. This thing ($699.00) left coffee rings and dull film on dishes. Yes, I do rinse dishes before I run the dishwasher and the cycle time length is very long! Just replaced it with a Maytag. Hope to have better results! The installer is here right now.

This dishwasher (LDF7810ST) quit after 2 years of use - it has never completely cleaned or dried the dishes even though a rinse agent was used. I rinse 3 times before a wash cycle and it's still of no use. I had it repaired, but I should have bought another brand. I have also had an LG cellphone which was so annoying in its battery life that I went back to my old trusty Samsung for 2 1/2 yrs to wait out the contract. Life is Good as long as you do not buy LG.

LDS4821ST Dishwasher - I was shocked to learn the time it takes to run this dishwasher: power scrub: 108-176 minutes; normal: 90-139 minutes; quick: 78 minutes; rinse only: 15 minutes. This is definitely not an energy saver.

I bought my top-end LG dishwasher in late 2008 for almost $900, as the store didn't carry Bosch at the time. I am a builder and I supply my homes with appliances prior to selling them and I thought perhaps I would give LG a chance on my own home first for which I am very sorry as I bought a whole kitchen's worth of LG appliances, all of which are either failing, performing very poorly or having really bad design/functionality. The steam-enabled, "power drive" dishwasher is by far the worse (won’t clean for anything!) and after numerous attempts at getting LG to repair/replace/improve, I have just given up on them altogether and finally replaced it with a Bosch (less money than the LG and works great).

I suppose I'm the lucky one out of all the posters in this forum, because I got almost 4 years out of the dishwasher. I purchased the washer at Home Depot in March 2008 and it stopped working completely on Feb. 1, 2013. At first the washer would power up by itself, but not run a wash cycle. Door got very warm as well. I had to unplug it prior to leaving the house because I was afraid it would catch fire and burn down the house! Then after a week, I tried a wash cycle and no go. I went to Lowe's after researching dishwashers online and narrowed it to Bosch and Maytag. I chose the Bosch - solid and quiet. Love it! Problem is I have an entire kitchen of LG appliances.

This dishwasher cost me about $900.00 in late 2008. The motor went out at one year. Fortunately, it was replaced under warranty. Christmas 2012, just 4 years after purchase, the motor went out again. I run it once or maybe twice a week. LG says they stand behind their product, but they refuse to reimburse me for any of the parts or labor to replace the motor for the second time in 4 years. I can't spend that kind of money on another dishwasher and I planned on having this one for a long time. As soon as I can afford to, I will replace it and I will not buy LG again.

LG dishwasher is 1 year old. This is the fifth time it has broken! Always something. LG products are cheap and a waste of money. I will never buy LG again.

One year and one day after we purchased this LG dishwasher LDF7810BB at Home Depot, the motor went out. Sorry! It's out of warranty. We traveled extensively during that one year and there were only two people in the house, so it was being used approx. every other day max, bringing it to maybe 100 wash cycles at the most and the motor went out? Home Depot could do nothing. LG corporate in Huntsville, AL would not even give a discount on the new motor which cost (back in 2008) around $275 plus labor. It still doesn't clean properly and I've done all the maintenance they recommend. We even have a water softener system so it isn't the water. I'll never buy another LG product and I warn everyone who will listen (even strangers in Home Depot) not to buy LG products. I'll be happy to hear they are out of business.

After only a year and two months after purchase, our LG dishwasher (LDS4821ST) is obviously having a drain pump issue, and thankfully we purchased the service plan at Home Depot. This washer sucks. It has become noisy, the panel freaks out and sometimes you cannot choose certain wash cycles, and now this drain pump issue. It's a huge piece of **. Follow my advice, since I know people with more expensive washers - get something like a Bosch or, if you really have the cash, a Miele. If you purchase an LG, you will regret it. Oh, and we also have an LG refrigerator, which also sucks. Although there are no real problems yet, it cools unevenly, and even when the unit is set at 36, some zones read 42-44 degrees (I have a digital chef's thermometer), which is in the danger zone for food (40/140 rule).

We bought our LG dishwasher 2.5 years ago and it sat for a year of that 2.5 years because the heating element was out. I decided to get it fixed and we thought it was taken care of but after 3 cycles of using it after it was fixed, the board caught fire. The gentleman who fixed it said that its parts were not large enough to take all the work it had to do and it melted the components and could have started a fire in ours. I am very sad to say we now have to buy another dishwasher, instead of throwing good money after bad, and I will not buy another LG anything.

We bought our LDF6920 LG Dishwasher from Best Buy in 2011. We agree with previous posts regarding this unit. From the very first day it was totally inadequate - dirty dishes, soap dispenser not opening, etc. LG should be ashamed to market this type of machine. This is the reason why companies like this will not have long term success.

I purchased an LG dishwasher 6 years ago, in which time I have 4 service calls. This appliance was expensive and the repairs to date have included failure on the insulation (overheating), error messages causing the machine to stop, a leak, and most recently the machine smelled of burning electrical and has now completely shut down. I purchased extended warranties to cover the repairs, but the inconveniences I've experienced and the nature of the failures of this product are not justifiable for a dishwasher in this price range and of its age.

I purchased an LG Dishwasher model number LDF7811WW for $610.00. From day 1, the thing never really cleaned our dishes (we also rinse them before putting them in the dishwasher too). This is our timeline with this lovely dishwasher: purchased it on 4-27-08. It wasn’t cleaning dishes, so on 3-26-09, I called there repair number. A guy came out and adjusted the cam for the upper and lower spray arms. It was still not cleaning dishes. I called the repair number again on 5-18-09. A serviceman came out again, had to replace the motor.

My husband and I built our house and moved in just over a month ago (September 2012). We decided to purchase an LG stainless steel dishwasher, because it was visually appealing and we were told it was quiet and had positive ratings. I must admit that the dishwasher is extremely quiet; however, it has yet to clean our dishes since the first time we have used it. The dishes/glasses on the top rack always come out dirty, and often, I will have to put them back into the dishwasher for a second or third time. There have also been a few times where the dishes were still wet and I had to dry them by hand. The most frustrating part is that the last few times we have used the dishwasher, we have opened the door just to discover the package of detergent stuck to the inside part of the door unopened (we use Cascade and have never had issues before). As a result, the dishes were only washed in water since no detergent was released out of the package which was still intact. Clearly, this dishwasher is too weak, as we've only had it for a month and age cannot be to blame.

I bought an LG dishwasher 2 1/2 years ago and it never cleaned dishes well at all. It started leaking water. I have not used it for over 2 years. This is the biggest piece of $800 junk I could have bought. I would never buy another LG product nor would I recommend this product to anybody.

I just purchased your $800.00 LG Inverter Direct Drive Dishwasher, Model # LDF6920ST. It does not clean the dishes at all. I'm very, very unhappy with your product. The inside stainless steel looks like 7 years old. I have not cleaned my dishes before putting them in a dishwasher since 1992. I cannot believe the electricity/water it uses and how your product - even after rinsing - cannot clean. I feel I need to put an extra rinse to help get the grime off. I have reduced my soap by half and the dishes still feel gritty. There must be something wrong with this. What can/should I do to have a rep come out to see what the problem is?

LG Dishwasher Model LDF7932ST, leaking door seal several months after buying the dishwasher. The bottom rack caught on the thin metal that houses the door seal molding it bending it. I bent it back but it keeps happening. This is such a poor design. After it got bent back and forth so many times, my dishwasher is now unusable. I have a $900 piece of scrap and that is being kind the thin metal that houses the door seal that is welded in crap. We have been unable to purchase the replacement parts. We have to keep putting towels under the dishwasher to wash dishes. This is ridiculous to have such an expensive dishwasher that turned to crap so quickly. If anyone can be of any help, please write.

On 2/18, we purchased an LG refrigerator, oven, microwave and dishwasher. After installing all of the listed appliances, everything appears to be working fine except for the dishwasher. The rinse cycle contains to display an "LE" error code. We contacted LG immediately after receiving the code and we were told that the "LE" code indicates that we need a new motor. I am really unclear as to how a brand new machine that has never been used needs a new motor! LG has been awful with responding to our repair needs. As of today, we still have not received the motor repair that we have asked for. They keep stating that they are going to send someone out, but no one has come out as of yet. Please help!

LG dishwasher leaked from the start. A service man came to fix and it still leaked. I called again. He was having car trouble and will get back to me. He never did. The warranty ran out. LG was kind enough to do an extended warranty for 30 days. I have been told something different every time I call. I was supposed to have a repairman within 5 days. We declined to have the same repairman. It has been 3 weeks. We’re waiting to put in a new floor and we still have a leaking dishwasher because my husband does not want same repairman. They can't find anyone else to fix it. Valerie the supervisor today was no help at all. She told me I just have to wait over and over until someone contacts me. The extended warranty runs out 3-22 .Valerie told me this morning that I canceled an appointment with another repair man. I have never canceled any appointment. This whole experience has us furious.

I have an LG dishwasher (model LDF692ST) slightly over 2 years old. It has had 2 motors and a pump replaced and now the service guy said the motor is gone again. It doesn't dry the dishes at all and the door falls down when opened without support. The only thing I did right at Best Buy was purchase a warranty but will be out in 2 weeks. I have a kitchen full of LG but that is changing. I wanted a replacement but looks like another repair is all I will receive. Buyer, beware: these are junk and my only recourse is to warn others.

I purchased my LG appliances (all 3 of them) from Home Depot in August 2010. Within the first 2 days of having my fridge, they had to replace the door twice for sensor issue. Now my dishwasher is having the same sensor error. I started the warranty claim on 01/23/2011. It is now 02/02/2012 with no resolution. I have had to handwash dishes for 3 weeks. I have called on 5 different occasions.

I don't have a complaint with where we bought the product. I have a huge problem with the product itself, an LG dishwasher LDF7810BB/LDF7810ST. What an absolute piece of junk! First of all, it will not dry the dishes without Jet Dry so you're married to that product for the life of the dishwasher. The wash cycles run up to three hours! I just ran a load that took three hours and three minutes to complete and 90% of the dishes need to be washed by hand.

The dishwasher caught my house on fire, model number lds4821 st/bb/ww. The fire chief stated it was the motor of the dishwasher that caused the fire. It was only three years old.

The steam dishwasher went dead during warranty. The corporate repair technician came out. He did something, said he could not replicate the problem, and the washer started up! Two months after the warranty expired, all 3 circuit boards went out. The corporate technician was no longer allowed to come out, and we were forced to use a new company that only services LG on Fridays. We've been doing dishes by hand for 6 weeks, and still, don't have the parts. It will be two more weeks at the minimum before repair is complete due to LG policy, parts distro, and customer service. Don't waste your money! Where are the class action suits against this company?

I built a new vacation home three years ago and bought all LG appliances, which were washer, dryer, fridge, and dishwasher.

I would give LG service negative stars, if I can. I purchased a dishwasher in April (model number: LDS4821ST), and the unit has worked pretty well. Recently and suddenly, the paint on one of the control buttons started to come off. I called LG and sent them pictures. I was told that it was a cosmetic problem, and they would not repair. I understand if this was a year or two from now, but four months after purchase and the paint is coming off? It is an obvious quality problem.

I reported LG dishwasher's continuous malfunctions to the place of purchase (Home Depot, Cheltenham Square; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania) LG appliances was contacted and attempted repairs three times including an evaluation visit. Sears appliance repair department called but could not help us. This dishwasher is defective and we need a new replacement dishwasher.

I purchased an LG Dishwasher model number LDF6920ST from Home Depot. This unit looks great and is quiet, however, it does not clean and does not dry your dishes. The internet is flooded with similar complaints about this model.

LG dishwasher does not clean. I have to wash by hand. I had to give one (1) star because it's not worth it.

The microwave has to be locked each time we use it because there is a defect in the computer? Out of warranty and way too expensive to fix. Has been defective since right after the warranty expired first year.

I have an LG dishwasher that doesn't dry the dishes, an LG dryer that I've had to repair, and a microwave that was repaired and is now not working. The very worse appliances I've ever, ever had, and these are very high dollar appliances. What are these people doing? I will never tell a friend to buy. You would think they would try to make things good. I don't think so.

Don't buy LG! I have an LG washer (2 years old). Within 3 months, the washer had mold on the inside of the soap dispensing tray. The tray doesn't come out so we can't properly clean it. It also has an offensive, musty odor all the time, so I'm sure there is mold buildup inside. They tell us to run vinegar cycles and we have to wipe off the seals or they won't seal right and the inside of the door after each use as instructed in the manual. It still doesn't prevent it! We also have to drain the trap on an ongoing basis.

On March 11, 2011 I bought a brand new LG washer from Home depot. When the washer was delivered 6-days later (March 17), it was damaged and I did not take possession of it. LG/Home depot's delivery people took it back and brought a new replacement, 5-days after that (March 22). Needles to say, this washer was also dented and I refused to take it. Now the next new replacement LG washer is supposed to be delivered to me on March 26. Hopefully this one will not be damaged.

On 9/7/2006, I purchased a LG dishwasher, washing machine, and refrigerator from HH Gregg in Matthews, NC. One year later, we had to replace the front panel on the washing machine as it was rusted due to a defect in the paint or coating. Two weeks ago, we noticed on the washing machine rust under the bottom left front and the side piece that holds the machine to a pedestal. LG refuses to do anything or even look at the machine. I spent thousands of dollars on the 4 appliances and they treat you like garbage. I spoke to a person named Shelton and he refused to let me speak to anyone else. He said he would send someone if I paid for the repair and the service call.

I bought a LG dishwasher about 9 months ago and me and my wife are not pleased. Ever since we have had it, it has made our pans and new stainless steel knives start to rust. Another concern which may be causing the rust is it never dries the dishes. When you go and take the dishes out of the dishwasher, they are always still covered with water. This could be even a day or two after they have washed. We have been also looking at buying some other new appliances and I am not sure if they will be LG. Just looking for some kind of response to see what could be done about the situation. FYI, we always keep the jet dry full.

I bought a LG dishwasher and front load washer dryer, two years ago from Home Depot. The dishwasher has been fixed 3 times, and still fails to wash dishes properly. Now that so many parts need to be replaced, it will be cheaper to buy something else. That is just the beginning. The washer/dryer has ruined all my clothes, sheets, etc., because of the smell that is worse than a sewer. Yes, we have changed every part in the machine possible, and we have cleaned the filter, and water bucket, every week. We have also tried every trick, known to man, to clean it. LG certified techs have said the machine is a lemon. They also said, off the record to never buy LG again. Gee, what a recommendation!

I purchased an LG Dishwasher in September 2008 from Home Depot. In September 2008, I had this dishwasher serviced and was told the diverter was bad and it was replaced under my warranty. In June 2010, this dishwasher began to elicit the same "symptoms" from the prior year and I assumed it needed a new diverter. I called LG and they scheduled their technician to come out the first week of July 2010 to repair my dishwasher. The technician spent about an hour working on my dishwasher and told me the motor was bad and he replaced the entire mechanism on the spot.

We purchased all LG appliances four years ago when we remodeled our kitchen. This included electric stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and over range microwave. The microwave is the only appliance that we have not had an issue with. The dishwasher is absolutely the worst appliance we have ever owned.

We purchased an LG Dishwasher in July 2005. Recently, it smelled like melting plastic when it ran. I thought something had gotten into the bottom and was melting, but when we looked we could not see the source. After a couple of loads with the smell, the next load seemed OK but then when I tried to turn on my dishwasher it would not power-up. Though I would hear the dinging once in awhile. My husband is very mechanical and took the door off and to our surprise, the wires and the circuit board were completely fried.

I bought a LG dishwasher model #LDF6920ST in June 2008 from Best Buy. Now after the wash cycle, it smells of a burning plastic smell that emanates from the inside door area. I was reading where others have complained about this problem about LG dishwashers, and I think something should be done to force LG to recall this appliance. I was told by LG that I will have pay a service tech to come out here to look at this problem, something I think I should not have to, seeing this dishwasher is used only about once a week for the last 2 years. If there is a known defect that is causing the wires in the door to burn, as I have read online, something needs to be done to recall this appliance before someone is seriously hurt.

On Friday, May 11th at 5:30 pm, I returned home to find a water leak from my newly Installed LG dishwasher. The leak was continuous and very large. The water leaked into my basement into two different unfinished rooms. There was damage to the insulation in those rooms. I called a water restoration service to clean up and stop any further water damage to the house. This incurred a $1300 bill from them. I immediately shut the water off to the dishwasher and called Best Buy where I filed a claim. I then had the representative from the installer come out and look at the leak. He informed me that the leak was coming from the seal behind the connection and that it was a part malfunction on the dishwasher.

I bought a new LG dish washer. The pump stopped working after 2 weeks of use. I called LG. They sent out a service company. They took apart the dish washer and left with no dishwasher for three weeks. Now the dish washer is loud and has oil stains on the inside of the tub. LG says they will not refund or exchange. They want their service company to fix again.

Do not buy any major appliances at Home Depot or purchase their extended service contracts! In my case, an LG dishwasher that I originally purchased broke down within 9 months of purchase. However, since it was still covered by the manufacturer's warranty, LG sent technical people out three times before determining the unit to be a lemon and 'unrepairable.‘ Although it was a nightmare of months spent making and following up on appointments, sending paperwork, and being treated like I had no rights, eventually LG did replace the machine.

I have purchased 2 LG products. The dishwasher leaked (after buying it I found hundreds of the exact same complaint on the internet). I called LG - their responses were pretty much, “Yah, we know...not yes. We'll handle it.” Now, the freezer leaks - what a surprise! Again, this is a plethora of complaints for the same issue - lots of angry consumers with no remedy from the company. My hardwood floors in my kitchen are ruined. There are black spots where the water repeatedly dripped. I finally got fed up and bought a Bosch dishwasher for another $1,000.00. The Bosch is awesome and I don't know why I didn't just go with it in the first place (I thought the LG was pretty - so stupid). Now I'm realizing that I need to bite the bullet and get a new fridge too. This is a lesson learned.

I purchased a LG dishwasher back in 2006. I had problems right from the start. After having it serviced 3 times in 1 year, LG finally replaced it. The new model also is poorly made. Water leaks all over and repairman is not able to locate. I called LG and they don't even care because the new one they replaced it with was no longer under warranty, there is nothing they can do. Understandable, except we paid well over $700.00 and we cannot even use a brand new dishwasher for 1 year.

I purchased an LG dishwasher from The Bay on December 26, 2008. I received it early January 2009. Installed mid to late January. I noticed on March 18, 2009 the dishwasher leaked all over kitchen floor. Dishwasher ran over night (delay cycle was used). I contacted The Bay for service March 18th. I did not receive service until mid to late April. I refused to have them repair the unit due to the delay and the fact the unit was a month old.

I purchased a complete LG Kitchen from Home Depot in June 2006 following Hurricane Katrina, replacing the GE Profile Kitchen I lost. After only 2 months of use, the dishwasher stopped working. It's still under warranty, so HD sent someone out to repair it. In December 2006, the above-range microwave covers burned, and I have not been able to use it since that time (2006).

I bought an LG dishwasher LDS5811ST from Home Depot on 03/17/07. It failed shortly after the one-year labor warranty ran out and cost $271.15 to repair. It failed again with same problem shortly after the 2-year parts warranty ran out. I did not want to pay the very high price to repair, so dishwasher sat in-place with circuit breaker off. On January 5, 2010 the circuit breaker was inadvertently turned on again. On January 7 the dishwasher caught fire, resulting in an emergency visit from the fire department. If my daughter had not been home at the time, the dishwasher fire would have most likely caused extensive smoke and/or fire damage to my home.

My LG Dishwasher LDS5811 main motor assy was broken 6 months after the 2-year warranty ran out. It will cost $500 to fix. I will never buy any LG product again. Buyers beware!

I bought a kitchen full of appliances from US-Appliance in Auburn Hills MI. in May of 2009. The dishwasher has broken and leaves a bad film on the dishes. I have called LG several times and they have given me two repair centers. I have called both places and I can't seem to get anyone out to repair it. It is still under warranty but it may be out of warranty already by the time this is settled.

After a year of working without a problem, the pump on my dishwasher went out. Fortunately, it was still under the manufacturer's warranty. A year and 2 days later, a cracked fitting caused a flood in my kitchen. Two weeks after that, the pump went out again causing another flood. Finding a person to service any LG product is very difficult. I leave messages and never get a call back. It is Christmas Eve, tons of people are expected, and I'm back to washing dishes by hand.

We purchased an LG dishwasher less than 3 years ago. It has now gone faulty. This is now the third LG appliance in the past few months (all bought at the same time) that has had to be repaired. At the time, we thought we were purchasing a reliable product as they are fairly expensive. LG actually did send a technician to repair the fridge as that was a fire hazard. I shall never buy another LG appliance.

We bought all new LG kitchen appliances in June 2007. About a month ago, we noticed that our "silent" dishwasher was no longer silent. Luckily, we had an extended warranty so we were able to get it serviced for free. Once the tech came, he said we needed a new motor. The part had to be ordered so we waited for that and then he came back to repair the unit. After he left, we noticed that the soap was no longer dispensing, so we had to call them back. Another tech came out and said need another new motor and a new soap dispenser. They came out for this repair and then the machine started dinging at random times and for no reason. They came again and said that there were still missing parts to be replaced but got it working again.

I bought a new LG dishwasher for our 2nd home that we visit every 6 to 8 weeks. We use it 1 or 2 times when we go there (just my wife and I). This is a 5-year-old machine which may have a year's worth of use. The problem is the wiring harness is placed against the door where it rubs as the dishwasher runs. This rubbing causes the harness to break. LG is aware of the defect and have replaced a lot of the harness systems for customers. Because our dishwasher is out of warranty, they don't want to replace a part that was defective when sold. We have been told that this part can cause a fire in our home. All we are asking LG for is a new wiring harness. We are willing to pay the labor.

I bought an LG dishwasher last January ’09. In February ’09, it was installed and by May ‘09 it was grinding. I thought maybe it was the garbage grinder and thought maybe it would settle in time. July, the dishwasher woke me from a dead sleep with the noise it was making. I decided it was time to do something about it. I phoned the store they told me to contact the repair place. They arrived in good time just a few days. They looked at the outside of the machine, opened the inside, removed the racks and said there was no blockage and then told me the machine needed a new motor it was going.

In August 2007, I purchased the above model of LG dishwasher, which had been highly recommended. The cost was $580.00 plus tax and $150.00 installation. I thought I had purchased an excellent product. After 2 years, it was smoking and apparent that something had overheated. After calling LG consumer service, I was given the name of their approved service dealer. For $75.00, I was informed that the motor was gone and the replacement cost would be $300.00. I was advised by LG's service rep to go out and buy something cheaper! He did suggest that this could have been caused by a power surge. I called my electrician to check out this possibility, another $75.00, no electrical problems.

On 4/25, I reported to LG customer service that my dishwasher (Model: LDS5811WW/01) was not drying dishes well even though I was maintaining the rinse agent level as instructed. I asked if they could direct me to a section of a repair manual or inform me where to begin looking for repair instructions. LG responded by saying that it is their policy to only release service manuals to licensed service technicians. Then, I started hand washing dishes since I would not use credit to repair a noncritical appliance.

We purchased an LG dishwasher from Best Buy in August 2007. We run approximately 2 loads per week. In January 2009, the dishwasher quit working. We contacted LG in Feb 2009 and were told that they would supply the parts to repair, but we needed to pay for repairs. We are still waiting for the parts and have talked to customer service 5 to 7 times without satisfaction. They offer us a different excuse every time we call. We also tried to work with the authorized contract repair company that they insisted we would have to use and did not receive a response from them for more than 4 months. We have arranged for a trusted and knowledgeable repairman to work on the dishwasher pending the arrival of the parts.

We bought our LG Dishwasher LDS5811ST in Nov. 2007. The motor recently gave out and will cost hundreds of dollars to repair. The technician told us he'd seen the same problem over and over again and that we'd be better off buying a new dishwasher. I decided to do a web search for problems with this model dishwasher and there were many complaints on many different sites all complaining about the same problem, the motor. I cannot understand how this product is still being sold to consumers. One other notable problem we had was the rollers on the baskets breaking. We had trouble getting replacement rollers, but eventually got them, at a price of course. We cannot afford to buy a new dishwasher, nor pay the hundreds of dollars to fix it. It has affected our family in that we are spending hours more time cleaning dishes which cut into our work and family time. It creates stress.

We redid our kitchen and purchased all new appliances. LG Electronics, LG - Life is Good - no, it is not. We purchased a brand new dishwasher. It leaked. It took over a year to get it fixed - 3 service calls (one of which came, took the door off and left and never returned). Since we only had a year warranty, they then wouldn't fix it. After several calls, they finally replaced it but not the wood floor; it leaked all over the brand new wood floor that is now ruined. We also purchased a washer that had to be fixed. Then the dryer (now the dryer drum, this is only 2 years old) is not working and they will do nothing, also the microwave. The outside glass fell into the door. So every time you close it, you are afraid the glass will shatter. They will do nothing. The only reason we did not purchase the LG stove was they did not offer a gas stove at the time, thank goodness. $7,000 in appliances and I have emailed, called, and written (several times). I get nothing - no response at all from them, not even a postcard acknowledging my calls, letters, and emails; nothing, not a sorry we are such a lousy company. Does no one care anymore about customer service? Does no one stand behind their products anymore at all? Never purchase LG unless you want to go through all the hassles of extra repairs within the year, or buy a lifetime warranty!

I would like to strongly agree with the other posters that you should not purchase any LG appliances! In May of 2007, we purchased an LG dishwasher from Home Depot at a cost of just over $900. We did not purchase the extended warranty. Approximately the beginning of February this year, the washer began to fail. The dishes were not getting dry or clean and the washer began to smell horribly. I lived in denial for a couple of weeks considering the washer was still fairly new, but eventually we called a repairman who replaced the entire electronic pad and the motor. We spent $200 on these repairs. In fact, he had to replace the motor twice because the one that LG originally sent him was also bad. He told us that they are kept quite busy repairing LG dishwashers and have informed LG that their product is inferior but they don't seem to care.

Consumers need to be aware of the quality of LG appliances. We went with all LG in 2006, believing that that was the best. One month ago, our 2 1/2 years old dishwasher quit. LG's choice of repairman came and found the wiring harness had melted to the inside of the door, and burned the motor out and said that was a common problem with that dishwasher, model #LDS5811WW. The 2-year warranty had expired, but there should have been a recall. We could smell the hot wires. Our house could have burned. Our efficient front loading washing machine, model #WM1814CW, will not remove blue bath soap stains from a white wash cloth on the heavy duty cycle with bleach. I must soak whites in a bucket first. The microwave model #LMV1630WW has growled for a year. I have had no response from LG and am not expecting any. We realized that we need to be looking for replacements for the remaining appliances.

Fourteen months following the purchase of our LG dishwasher, it began to make a high-pitch noise and the washing efficiency decreased. LG customer service was less than helpful directing us to local appliance repair services that they refused to come because we were too far from them and had gone out of business. I needed to make more than 10 calls to find someone who would come to the house and had to pay a special service fee because they do not service LG. A tremendous waste of time, I would not recommend any LG appliances.

I purchased an LG dishwasher two years ago. I immediately noticed that it was not washing the dishes and that even glasses that went in practically clean, came out filthy. A dried on crusty dirt was all over my glasses and plates. We called the place where we purchased, changed detergents, increased our hot water temperature, rinsed the dishes until almost completely clean, but the results were still the same. I had a service tech come out. He ran some tests and stated that the dishwasher was fine and that we were using too much detergent! He told us that we were supposed to be using 1 teaspoon. We tried that but it didn't work. Subsequently, we had several more service techs out. We followed all of their instructions, had pumps and heaters replaced to no avail.

I purchased an LG model LDF6810ST on 12/272006. Five months after purchase, the plastic washer rotor at the top of the dishwasher broke. The serviceman repaired saying it was probably just a defective part but otherwise, the machine is good. Now on July 1, the machine just stopped working. My warranty expired so I had no choice but to pay for a service call. After a diagnostic, which I also had to pay for, the service person discovered that inside the door, the computer board was defective and some of the wires had split due to some glue solutions that hit the wiring during production. I now need a new door liner and so far, I have spent $265 for something that was defective to begin with. When the part arrives, I have another service charge plus the wiring to pay for - about another $150. This machine is by any definition a lemon and should be replaced or at least have the parts sent free. LG said it's not their problem and Home Depot, after 2 years, can do nothing. This product is a disaster!

We bought a LG Dishwasher in 6/2006. It was installed in 7/2006. By 9/2006, the motor was broken. We called 3 LG certified repairmen given to us directly by LG. Only one returned the call. We were told by the repairman that a motor was ordered and after several weeks, several phone calls and getting the run around by being told by one person the motor was ordered and another that it was not. We were frustrated.

Our 23-month old LG Dishwasher LDS5811bb started leaking and turned into a flood! First repairman noted that wires due to faulty design had melted into the door, gasket under door was lifted and pump seemed to be having problem. First discussion with CS resulted in them telling me my unit was out of warranty as according to their documents it had a one-year labor and parts. After I found my owners manual, I confronted them with the fact it was two-year parts. They argued consistently that I was incorrect until one agent checked the owner's manual Number with some group to determine the information they were using was incorrect.

I bought an LG Dishwasher model #LDS4821ST on 4-20-09. There was always soap left in the soap receptacle after each cycle. I tried gel soap and the powder that came with the dishwasher. Even the gel soap wasn't dissolved! I reread the manual, (yes I read my manuals) thinking I may have loaded it wrong. That wasn't it. I read in the troubleshooting section that it could be my water pressure, so I had the plumber that installed it come back out. Pressure was fine. I did have him replace the shut-off valve from a washer type to a ball bearing type so there would be no question about water getting to the dishwasher. It still didn't work.

I purchased a dishwasher in September '08 and have had five service calls since then and it's still not fixed. I sent all documentation to LG for refund or replacement and was denied. LG states the washer is fixed which is not correct according to us or the service centers. LG says the service centers say it is fixed when if fact the service centers says there is nothing else they can do with the dishwasher. Customer service is appalling, rude on the phone to us as well as with the service people.

Door latch assembly failed before 3 years were up, but after the 2-year warranty. This is a cheaply made plastic part for an expensive dishwasher. The replacement has been reinforced so obviously, they know there is a problem with this part. They choose not to alert anyone about this and hope you go barely out of warranty before you have to replace, so they don't have to and don't do a recall. Amazing that you can spend a lot of money for an appliance and the simplest part fails and does not allow the dishwasher to operate at all. Repair cost $112.08 and numerous phone calls and faxes to customer service with no results.

I bought five LG appliances in November of 2005, and we have had the dishwasher repaired twice. I replaced two drawer covers, one shelf, and currently have two broken door closer clips on the refrigerator. I took the front loading washing machine apart to clean the build-up of gunk on the drum and inside the plastic seal around the drum. Our microwave shorted out on the rack that came with it and left a burn mark on the interior of the unit. Luckily, we bought a Jenn-Air stove. I found the class action lawsuit for the front load washer after I googled "LG appliance lawsuits." I hope there are more lawsuits for the other appliances. We spent over $6,000.00 for the five appliances and have had nothing but trouble. We are very unhappy with LG.

My LG dishwasher quit after 15 months. The original warranty was 1 year. I opened up the door and found the control circuit board had a burn mark on it, so I called a distributor and ordered a new one to install. I installed it and it burned up immediately as soon as I put the circuit breaker back on. I called LG Customer Service again and they told me I had to get an authorized service tech to find out what was wrong. Through my conversations with him, I found out there was a service bulletin sent out on my particular model, about a faulty wiring harness the company said had to be replaced if they got any service calls on this model. I paid $800 for this dishwasher that had a defect that was a fire hazard, right from the factory. LG Customer Service told me since I had worked on it, they were not going to cover the $560 service charge to repair a factory defect. I am searching for further avenues of retribution and will never buy another LG product as long as I live.

New dishwasher was purchased in 12/06. First failure was on 6/06, then 2/07, 3/07, 4/07 and finally 4/09. It had four repairs under warranty, three of them for identical problem. I spoke w/ Ms. **, faxed all original work order documents. She contends LG should only provide the $84 part and not cover the $300-$400 labor, since it is no longer warrantied, despite the chronic nature of the failures, which recurred 3 of the 4 times in the first 16 months of ownership (Why pay for the part after warranty is expired if they didn't know this was a problem and feel responsible?). This $800 dishwasher will essentially cost $130 per month for the six months it was properly functional. Internet research regarding this model (LDF6810) reveals multiple consumer complaint of issues identical to mine with unacknowledged manufacturing faults or responsibility on the part of LG Corporation.

We purchased an LG dishwasher from Home Depot. Less than 3 months after the purchase, the pump went bad. LG sent out a repair guy and fixed it. Six months later, that pump went bad again. LG, again, fixed it. I wrote a letter to LG with copies of the work orders asking that my warranty be extended. They said no. One year after the second repair, that pump went bad again. It sat for 6 months and then I asked my son to fix it. We ordered a new pump from an LG dealer, and he installed it.

I purchased an LG dishwasher from a Best Buy dealer. It was said to be one of the quietest dishwashers out there. It is so loud it hurts my eardrums listening to its screeching. The motor has been replaced twice now. It stopped working 2 days before the 1-year warranty expired, but their customer service said since it would take longer than 2 days to get their repairman out to fix it that it would be beyond the warranty date! I really just wanted my money back because this was the most expensive dishwasher on the market. We bought it thinking if we spent more money, we'd get a better product. I hate doing dishes so I am willing to pay out the nose to avoid doing that. Now I'm sitting here with a crappy dishwasher that didn't last even a year and screeches at me all day long.

LG is beyond terrible! We paid a lot of money for an LG dishwasher and fridge for a home we are fixing up to retire into. The dishwasher started leaking immediately! My husband spent hours on the phone with Home Depot (where we purchased them) and made many other calls only to find out that LG has NO WARRANTY SERVICE in our area!!!! So, my handy mechanical husband finally fixed the leak himself. When the dishwasher was only about 2 years old... meaning about 6 months of actual use at the most since we only used the house on weekends, the motor quit completely! After all the many, many hours of grief we'd already gone through, my angry husband took the dishwasher back to HD. They said they would give us some kind of credit (not enough!!), so my husband said if they did not give us another dishwasher (from a company which actually honored its warranty), then he would dump it in front of the store, take a picture for the newspaper, and the story would read how HD does not back up what it sells. Guess what? We got a new Maytag dishwasher. However, our LG fridge's ice maker has never worked right; it leaks water into the freezer and the crush ice does not work, so who knows how long it will last. :-(

I purchased a top-of-the-line LG dishwasher for my new home under construction in July of 2005. It was installed by February of 2006. It worked pretty well (other than the hybrid drying system doesn't do that great a job) till January of 2007 when it totally stopped drying at all. Also, the rinse dispenser stopped working and the rubber gasket on the bottom interior of the tub swelled up. It became all spongy and distorted and didn't allow all the water to drain out properly. Without the rinse dispenser working, the detergent doesn't completely dissolve and leaves a white film on everything if I don't completely hand dry everything. Also, I had to replace the clips that hold the prongs for the upper and lower racks as they are cheap plastic that break under the weight of the dishes (even though the racks themselves are nylon with a five-year warranty). The clips didn't last 6 months.

My LG dishwasher 5811ST is only 1 year old and has had to be repaired twice. Just out of warranty, it now has an error code LE that is not listed in the manual, the washer will not run for longer than 2 minutes, and this item NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I've gone online and seen hundreds of other people with the exact problem.

We purchased an LG dishwasher in January 2008 from Home Depot. Less than five weeks from the purchase date the drying cycle in the machine malfunctioned, so we called LG, and two weeks later an independent service man came to look at the problem, and said he would have to order a part in order to fix the problem. He returned in two weeks and fixed the problem. Two months later the machine started to leak, so we called LG again and in ten days another service man came by and said that the machine needed a new rubber gasket. Two weeks later the service man returned to install the gasket. The machine worked fine for three weeks, but then started leaking again.

Purchased a LG dishwasher on 4/27/06 the dishwasher stopped working in Feb of 08...I have been trying to get it fixed since. I have had a service man to my house 4 times to replace 4 different parts and still it does not work. I cannot seem to get anyone on the phone to help me at LG. Their customer service dept is rude, dismissive and unresponsive. I would think that a $800 dishwasher would last more than a year.

Bought an LG Dishwasher in July 2007 from Best Buy, motor went out on it in July 2008.Called before 12 month Best Buy warranty ran out. Tech came out on 7/26/08, said motor was burned out and ordered a new one. They would contact us when part was in. Got a recorded phone call about a week later that the part was in. We had a major event that week, so I called the next week (about 8/6) and was given an appointment for 8/13. Waited from 7-9am like they tell you for technician to call to tell you what time they will be coming. No call came.

I purchased a top of the line LG dishwasher 8/22/05 for $1234.61. An error code came up on the control panel in June '08. A repair man came out and looked at it and told me I needed a new motor. He ordered it. Two weeks later he came back and installed it. The dishwasher still did not function. He told me I needed a new control panel. He ordered it.

Two weeks later he installed it and the dishwasher still failed to function. He told me that LG wanted him to order 2 more parts and replace them. He also said that he couldn't charge me because he didn't fix my dishwasher. He said that he was losing money installing these new parts and not fixing the machine. I told me that he believed that they were going to recommend that he order and replace parts until the dishwasher worked. I have not heard from the repairman in 3 weeks. I paid over $1000.00 for that dishwasher and I want to be refunded.

Purchased LG Dishwasher. Two days after warranty (one year) expired, dishwaher failed. LG offered to fix the dishwasher. My husband had to diagnose the problem, as the service tech wasn't able to do so. A new drum and new motor were installed (basically, a new dishwasher). Within three months, the dishwasher stopped working again. LG would not do anything about this. We replaced the dishwasher with one that WORKS (another brand).

We have had multiple problems with our LG dishwasher. It arrived in a damaged box and the shipper wouldn't return it. There appeared to be no damage so we installed it. It leaked on our new wood floors. The repair service LG sent was marginal at best and it took more than a month to resolve the problem. After that was resolved and we could use the dishwasher I learned that it did a poor job of getting the dishes clean.

My husband and I thought we were purchasing a high-end appliance, but we now feel we just washed $1000 down the drain. There are a couple of other issues as well, the inside of the washer develops a horrible smell between runs and the rinse agent dispenser does not appear to be working and may never have worked as far as we can tell. We have decided we will not purchase other LG products based on this experience. For the record - I have tried to contact LG via their website and every time I try to send, an unknown error occurs and my message fails.

My husband and I updated our kitchen and replaced all our appliances with LG appliances in July 2007. Since November, 2007, we have had repairmen out 4 times for my dishwasher. The motor has been replaced twice and we are still having problems. Now, (June, 2008) it is leaking. A repairman is due out again this week.

I purchased an expensive LG dishwasher(720 $) in April, 2006, at Home Depot in Germantown, MD. Already the motor is broken. And water damage in my house is large.

I bought a dish washer and it was suppost to be a top of the line. from best buy on 1/26/2008. It was a display unit but never been used. It was a grat buy or that waht I thought then The model No. LDF8111ST. It has never worked correctly. It was always down waiting for a repair. I get the Error "IE" and will not work. LG through the Warantee repalced Control Board, Water Guide Assembly, Another Circuit Board and taped burned wires and still not fixed. LG send another repair firm and said you need to replace the motor assembly, Inter door Assemmly and Wire harnese. That was not done yet, parts are on order. I think the door insulation heats up and causes the wires to melt and messes every thing else. That wht the reopair man told me unofficially.

Bought an LG dishwasher with extended warranty. My machine is over a year old, so the worthless extended warranty through GE took effect. It has been a nightmare. It is now June 23rd and the machine has been broken down since 11 May. LG does not have a replacement pump. Go figure......

We paid $829 for this stainless steel dishwasher. 1.5yrs later it is leaking all over the floor. Inspection of the machine shows a seal that is very faulty and cannot be replaced/repaired. It is clearly a design flaw. Water leaks from the door and this seal is basically shoved inside the bottom of the and does not appear to be afixed to anything. We took the door panel apart 3 days after we stopped using it. There was signifcant condensation inside the door and all electrical parts were wet. There is also major amounts of corrosion on non-stainless steel metal parts inside the door. This implies that the door has been collection mosture for some time.

On 9/24/2007 I purchased an LG gas range M937 from Home Depot and an LG dishwasher. The dishwasher does not dry the dishes and the stove top is impossible to clean. Do I have any recourse open to me? Is there perhaps a class action lawsuit? Or will the company help?

I recently remodeled my kitchen, including the purchase of all new appliances, through Home Depot. The services I received through Home Depot were excellent. The only problem I had was with my new dishwasher. It did not work right from the start. It was model #LDS5811BB made by LG. It showed an Error for drainage on the display. Additionally, the dishes I had attempted to wash in the bottom rack all fell over and the rack did not slide out easily. It was difficult to position drinking glasses in the top rack.

We purchased a top of the line LG dishwasher energy efficient from Best Buy. 1yr/3mos later the pump/motor has failed and needs replacement. We called Lg and found out that of course it's no longer covered for labor but parts are still covered. The company recommended a local appliance repair company which costs $92.00 to come out to the home and confirm the problem and now they need to order the part which takes 7-10 bus days and then we must pay for the labor which costs around $70.00.

Purchased an LG Dishwasher from Home Depot in May of 2007. Right away the dishwasher quit working. Called LG since it was under warranty. It took over 3 calls to get LG to finally get a repair technician to our house. When the repair technician came he ordered a new part according to the error code being displayed on the Dishwasher. It took over 3 weeks for the part to arrive. Technician replaced the part and the dishwasher still didn't work. The technician determined that the dishwasher was non repairable. Took another 4 weeks and a half dozen calls to LG to finally get a new dishwasher. After a couple months with that dishwasher we noticed the side wall was separating from the dishwasher and the rack was catching on it everytime you tried to push the bottom rack back into the dishwasher after loading.

We purchased a LG dishwasher in December 2005 from Home Depot. The first one delivered had a damaged door when we uncrated it. LG customer service gave us the run around, but finally Home Depot ordered a new one and took away the damaged one.

I am writing this letter to express frustration wih LG brand dishwasher. I am not sure if my anguish is as a result of not knowing enough information about dishwasher. That being said I am a homeowner (18 y) and I never had problems with other dishwasher I had it in the past (GE, Maytag brands). The new one that I purchased (via Homedepot)looked good initially then started with lot of problems that includes inefficient washing and inept drying at the end of the cycle. We also noticed that it skips cycle.

Spent another 800 dollars on a dishwasher that I can only pray will work. I am sure because the Home Depot is uncooperative my blood pressure has gone up along with my stress level.

I purchased an LG dishwasher (LDS5811ST) in January of 2006. As a bachelor who is out of town extensively on business, the unit has seen only light duty. In February of 2007 I got an error code and had to have a rep service the dishwasher. In all he came out SIX times to repair the dishwasher. Now, in February 2008, I am getting another error code and I am told it is the main motor. I contacted LG to see if they can explain why this unit has been so repair prone and if they can do anything to help repair or replace this unit since I have had to have it repaired so many times. They have refused any kind of assistance or explanation why I have had so many problems with this dishwasher. I wanted to know if there is any recourse to getting any kind of help in repairing or replacing this unit.

My wife purchased a LG washer and dryer about a year ago and from the first load on the washer when in spin cycle vibrates so that I'm afraid of damage to the floor structure. I shored up the floor from underneath but that did not help. Also it takes forever to complete a wash cycle. We tried to get help from LG , but gave up.

We purchased a LG dishwasher from Best Buy in July 2006. The tines on the basket started to break off, it would make a high pitched whistled sound with the sanitize cycle, and it failed to dry the dishes. On Oct 21, 2007, it quit working and an error code (LE) showed on the LCD display. We immediately called LG customer service who gave us a complimentary extended warranty and scheduled us with an authorized service company (At Your Service, Kansas City, MO). When the serviceman arrived, he knew exactly what the problem was. This particular LG dishwasher is known for problems because the glue used inside the door corrodes the wires. The parts were ordered, and the date for delivery of parts was given by LG as Nov. 21. On that day, one part was determined back-ordered, and it was scheduled to be delivered Dec. 23. In the meantime, on Dec. 10 we complained to LG about the length of time it was taking. That same day, Agee (customer service rep) called us back and said we would receive a completely new dishwasher within 2 weeks. All we had to do was fax the receipts.

We purchased the top of the line LG dishwasher which stopped working within 6 months. It is in Warranty, and the service person said that the motor had to be replaced and is a known issue with LG dishwashers. We have been waiting for a month, and there is no indication when we will have the dishwasher repaired. LG has been very unfriendly - zero customer service. LG is despicable!

I purchased an LG dishwasher from Best Buy for $800.00. After 3 service calls they replaced the unit. The replacement totally died after 18 months. What a piece of junk!! We also purchased a LG washer and dryer for $2300.00. The washer has been serviced 3 times!! We have to leave the door open on it because it smells so musty!! You can only use a towel one time before you was it because it smell like the washer after it gets wet!

After spending almost 800 dollars my daughter and I have horrible dishpan hands.

I contacted LG in September 2007. They said, that since my warranty expired 6/25/07, there is nothing they can do. I, on the other hand can buy a new door for $441.00 (I can buy a brand new dishwasher for that price!). I beleive that a major household appliance like this, under proper care should last a lot longer than two years. If this is a quality product as LG claims it (certainly priced high enough to make one beleive), LG should stand behind their product.

I bought an LG dishwasher for $1,050 about 2-1/2 weeks ago. It never has run once. The code shows that there is a problem with the motor. It took a week to get anyone to look at it, and after another week, the part is still not in, and the appliance repair can't tell me when the part will get in. They informed me that LG doesn't allow the appliance repair part centers to stock parts. Sometimes they have to be shipped from Korea. Once the word spreads about LG, I expect they are going down.

We purchased a LG diswasher in December 2006 at Best Buy. I used it twice and it never cleaned my dishes. So I called Best Buy they sent someone out here and found out it was a bad motor. I was concerned it was a lemon so I asked for a new dishwasher. They delivered a new one a few weeks later. The diswasher is loud it cleans terrible and a month ago the motor went out again. So in 9 months 2 different diswashers, motor went out in both. I would like my money back but that doesn't seem to be an option. I spent $800.00 on this diswasher, definetly didn't get what I paid for.

13 days ago April 26 same thing happened again. Still waiting on fax from LG to appliance repair company.

I purchased an $800 stainless steel dishwasher on Nov. 26th 2006 and by the end of March 2007 it was not working. The code came up the thermister was not working. I called the customer Service line where they scheduled an appointment with a local service company and told me to call them on Monday to confirm my Wed. appointment which I did, only to find out that LG had no access to their appointment books, they couldn't come out until the next week!

Purchased LG dishwasher from Home Depot. LG offered $50.00 rebate. The sales person said that they are good dishwashers but you may have a problem getting your rebate, said they have had several complaints from customers not receiving them. She was right. We mailed it in and the rebate paperwork said not to contact them for 8 to 10 weeks about your rebate status.

Purchased LG dishwasher on 01/03 and by 03-13 I have had two major problems: 1. the door latch did not latch and a repairman was called and the problem corrected 2. two weeks later the wash motor burned out and again the repairman was called.

Purchased LG dishwasher from home depot, after 1 month began to leak, it took two tries to fix and then they replaced entire dishwasher. A couple of months later dishwasher would not complete cycle and went thru 8 weeks of troubleshoot and repair, but when they fixed cycle problem LCD read out wouldn't work. They ordered the part and I waited 2 months to make my appointment because I was sick of the repair people and now they won't fix because the warranty has expired. Just a $1000 piece of junk! Who wants a stranger in their house on a weekly basis for 16wks or more? I'm done with LG forever!

I purchased an LG dishwasher on 2/22/06 and it all but stopped working on 2/22/07. Water remained in the unit and the washer was not operational.

We purchased an $800 LG Dishwasher from Best Buy in Chico, CA in Sept.05. We had problems with it starting 2 weeks after we had it installed. Best Buy was useless & LG even more so. It is virtually impossible to have anyone service an LG product and totally impossible to get LG to help you in anyway. LG techs are rude over the phone and you get the same run around each time you call that they will call you back with a service time and never return the call. LG's all time excuses' seem to be the same after seeing other complaints from frustrated LG buyers. I will NEVER buy from Best Buy or purchase another LG product again.

I gave my children money to buy a new dishwasher. They got an LG from Home Depot and had it installed in July 2006. A light went on 3 weeks ago and my daughter was told the motor is shot. I am furious and will never buy an LG and warn everyone I meet and know not to buy one, including sending an e-mail to the entire company I work for warning them about this brand. Shame on them. Everyone is unresponsive and the dishes are piling up.

We purchased a top of the line Stainless Steel LG Dishwasher from the Home Depot in Albert Lea, MN. LG-S5811ST Model #. We live in rural Iowa. On September 8, 2006, the diswasher broke...giving us an LE error message on the front panel. We called LG to find a service to repair it - only to find out that no one in our area is certified to services LG products. What the heck was Home Depot thinking and why did they not tell us that when we made the purchase? We have been farting around with well intentioned LG Customer Service people, but a system that cannot deliver on their word.

I purchased an LG dishwasher from home depot last August. I also purchased the extended warranty. This dishwasher has never cleaned my dishes well. The service from LG is excrutiatingly bad. I have spent literally hours on hold and then they are rude. The tell me use more soap, use less soap, use different soap, all of which I have tried. I have only found one service person in the entire city willing to service this maching. He told me to run the hot water for 5 minutes before I wash the dishes. LG now says if they send someone out I will have to pay because there is nothing wrong. And yet my dishes don't get clean. I gave up on pots - just dinner dishes and flatware are not clean. Please do not waste your money on this machine or this horrific company.

Our top of the line, stainless steel dishwasher failed within the 1st month. It wouldn't dry anything - full cycle left dishes with a heavy condensation.
