      LOL!!! I too had my new unhooked dishwasher for 3-4 months before i just installed it last week. I wanted the weather to warm up to not freezing celcuis before snaking my kitchen pipes before installing. I was having problem with my kitchen plumbing backing up into the old DW draining hose.. should be good now.

    Is it common for dishes to remain wet or have water droplets at the end of a regular cycle when using extra drying and overnight drying? I had a Maytag that left all the dishes, including plastic items that can be used in a dishwasher, very well and dry at the end of the washing cycle.

  • @mikemahler8894
    @mikemahler8894 7 місяців тому

    What if you have a tight fit with sink on the left and your sink cabinet has a full drawer on the bottom. I can't get drill that hole according to the template because it will hit the drawer. Thoughts on this? Ths LG is replacing a Bosch that fit fine, and it may be worth noting that the drain tube on the Bosch was thin, like the one inside the bigger one on the LG. Appreciate the guidance.

    just one issue I encountered with my installation: those legs were installed at the factory super tight. I could not make the front ones or the back one move freely without dislodging them first using hex bit. the back one was on super tight from the factory. you definitely want to check the legs first before installing in the cabinet because you will not be able to adjust the height if the legs are on super tight.

  • @Henry-USA
    @Henry-USA 9 місяців тому

    BUYER BEWARE -- After 1.5 year, Dishwasher control panel fails and you WILL have a $800 rock.
    It WILL start bugging out, goes blank, and does not finishing washing cycle. Or sometimes the lights just go on a fritz before it dies for the day. I saw many reviews stating the same issue.
    LG is clever though!! LG says their warranty is only 1 year -- so because I'm over by 4 months, they will not pay for labor on the warranty.
    My dishwasher was $800 and the labor to repair will be $650 because it's "outside the 1 year labor" by 4 months.
    I also had to call LG twice to even talk to anyone. The first time I called LG customer service, the LG rep FELL ASLEEP during the call. This is LG customer service experience that you can expect if you buy LG.
    I bet if I opened up this dishwasher, it will be cheaply-glued with poor parts inside.
    BUYER BEWARE !! $800 rock in your kitchen.
