Product review (1 stars): Life is NOT Good With LG
My husband and I purchased this LG dishwasher (model # LDF7932ST), in December 2011 for over $900.  I have several elements I feel that are definite "pros."  The Lo-Decibel(tm) feature was great; it was so quiet you didn't even know the machine was on.  The Trusteam(tm) feature I did like, as it uses steam to dry the dishes, as opposed to a heating element on the bottom.  That eliminates accidentally melted plastic dishes that fall through.  Dishes usually came out very clean and dry, as long as rinse-aid was in the dispenser and liquid detergent was used.
  Next, I have more than several elements that I qualify as definite "cons" to this machine and to LG as well.  On the exterior, that beautiful stainless steel that cost us an extra $200, was very easily damaged.  If not quickly dried up, even a drop of water that had dripped down the front, left a permanent light-gray streak; it became a rather large pain to have to keep up with the high-maintenance exterior.  The racks inside, as well as the utensil's holder, were all made of flimsy plastic and broke quite easily.  Within six months my silverware were falling through holes the size of quarters, created by broken plastic pieces, and caused permanent scratches on the bottom of the interior.  Signalight(tm), by the way, is nothing to get excited about; it is merely a little blue light that illuminates for a brief period after the machine completed the cycle.  The biggest downfalls to this machine had to be its continued mechanical failures.  In fact, the mechanical malfunctions proved to be the only true aspect of this dishwasher that I could rely on.
  After only two months of ownership, the dishwasher would no longer work.  A piece from the inside of the motor area broke off and jammed it up.  At the six month mark the machine would not drain.  On the bright side, the one year manufacturer's warranty covered those two repairs.  On the dark side, repairs took weeks to complete while waiting for parts, and dealing with the customer service department was a nightmare.  Most of the times I called, the representatives had very strong accents; they could not understand what I was saying, and vice-versa.  Other times the representatives wanted me to take the machine apart myself and call them back after doing so.  Every time, however, my call to their help line resulted in LG telling me they needed to send a technician out for an "official" diagnosis.  These diagnoses by the way, cost $95 each and every time a technician arrives at your door once you are out of the warranty.  That cost does not even cover any repairs.
Our luck ran out really ran out when seven months later, while out at a party, the dishwasher's drain line burst and flooded our kitchen.  The warranty expired one month earlier, so we paid the $95 diagnosis fee, plus $105 for a new drain line, to Jorge the LG technician, whom we knew on a first name basis by that point.  LG offered no compensation whatsoever, for damage that my cabinets and walls sustained from the water the drain line had slowly leaked before it ultimately ruptured.  Finally, two short months after the drain line debacle, the demise of our not-so-fabulous dishwasher had finally come.  Once again Jorge paid us a visit, and this time informed us that the capacitor burned out and would cost nearly $350 to repair.  Devastated and furious, we threw in towel and refused to sink even one more penny into the mechanical money pit.  Consequently, we replaced our very expensive LG brand dishwasher with a used Maytag purchased for $50 at a yard sale. Until this very day, the fifty dollar used dishwasher remains problem free.
I cannot really put into words the disgust and disappointment I feel for my LG brand dishwasher and really for the LG company itself.  I would like to say that it was a fluke and we received a defective machine, but we had also purchased a matching stainless steel, over the counter LG microwave for $450 and a French door LG refrigerator for $2900.  Only one of which still works and both of which suffered multiple, costly mechanical malfunctions.  We put our faith and almost $5000 of our hard earned money into LG kitchen appliances, and all were complete disappointments.
  What good were all those luxuriously expensive features on my LG dishwasher, when the machine itself could not even function properly and even damaged my home?  I tell everyone I know who is looking to buy appliances, "Do not buy LG."  If you do, buy them at your own risk.  My husband came up with his own slogan for our dishwasher and this company, "Life sucks with LG."
