Features & Specs - LG LDF6920[WW]
Sensor A sensor adjusts water usage and cycle time to the amount of soil on the dishes. This should make a dishwasher use water more efficiently, but we found that wasn't always the case. Moreover, a sensor can increase a machine's running time. Sensor	Yes
Self-cleaning filter A filter that cleans itself is convenient, but it can add to noise. Note that it's often the costly foreign brands that lack self-cleaning filters and require periodic manual cleaning of the filter. Self-cleaning filter	Yes
Stainless-steel tub Unlike a plastic tub, a stainless-steel one won't discolor, but it does increase the cost of a dishwasher by about $100. Stainless-steel tub	Yes
Hidden controls Controls along the top edge of the door contribute to a sleeker look. Some models hide all controls; others hide only some controls. Hidden controls	All
Ample flatware slots Flatware baskets with lids provide individual slots for most of the utensils in our silverware load. Such lids prevent "nesting" and thus improve flatware cleaning. It is more time-consuming to load the cutlery into individual slots, though, so you can remove the lids if you prefer. Ample flatware slots	Yes
Adjustable upper rack Most models hold cups and glasses on the top rack, plates on the lower rack, and silverware in a basket. The ability to adjust the upper rack up or down an inch or so allows for more flexibility in loading items such as tall glasses. Adjustable upper rack	Yes
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless steel is stylish, but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	Yes

Comment:

Died after only about 2 years. Main circuit board shorted out. Main symptom was that it wouldn't turn on. And when we bought it we thought we were paying more for a higher quality dishwasher. Will avoid LG in the future.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Never ever buying LG ever again

Comment:

This is the worst dishwasher I've ever used. I completely rinse all dishes before the 120 minute cycle and the dishes still don't come out clean. Some dishes even have soil on them that wasn't there when I put them in. The soap dispenser doesn't open completely so unless I remember to open the dishwasher and manually rinse the soap I have to run is again. It has NEVER worked well and was very expensive. Recently put in a service call because this dishwasher has steadily gotten louder. The repairman showed my husband 25 issues with this model so even if he can fix the current problem of the water not staying in the dishwasher there will more than likely be other issues. Update, new repairman came to install new part, now the dishwasher doesn't drain at all and there's water all over the floor.

Comment:

This dishwasher looks great in the store but it's not so great once you get it home. The lower rack is always coming off the track, it doesn't dry plastic at all, the tines are not placed well, it takes too long to wash and the upper rack is slanted so that glasses will fall over.
