Product review (2 stars): A Cautionary Tale
I have owned this for almost four years (which I think is a world record for an LG dishwasher). Four long, problem ridden years. My model was actually the 7811 (which is about the same as the one pictured). The first thing is when the dishwasher is finished it makes a dingy noise that sounds ominous, like the theme song to Jaws (dumm dum, dumm dum). We thought it was cute and funny in the beginning, but now I think the engineers were trying to tell us something.

A few months after plunking down over $1000 to buy this dishwasher, the pump broke, it was 3 1/2 WEEKS before it was fixed! I went through Christmas and New Years without a dishwasher, that was fun! One thing I should point out, LG does not have a handy supply of parts, when something breaks they make the part and then ship it from South Korea, apparently by steamer tramp and mule train. Yeah so, there was a lot of hand washing going on at our house. The following year it started getting louder and louder and making the weirdest noises during the wash cycle; like it was grinding my dishes into powder, every time I ran it I thought "this is it, its going to die".
One nice thing, if there were guests over I would have it running, it was definitely a conversation starter. It usually kicked off with the statment "I think your cat is stuck in the washer". My husband would take it apart and clean it but it started making the sounds again. Also it never quite got the glasses and cups very clean the whole time that I owned it, we have gotten into the habit of rinsing a cup out before using it.

Last year we got an error code and found that some wires inside of the door had melted together, my husband fixed them himself because it was 1) quicker and 2) not under warranty anymore. The last straw happened 4 weeks ago. the soap was not being used and was in a sticky blob on the door. After looking around we found that the gaskets (there are three of them) were almost gone. We ordered new ones and put them in and then a week later it started to leak all over the floor, like an old incontinent dog. So after doing a LOT of research we are replacing it with a Kenmore Elite 1396.
