“very disappointed with this shoddy product”

★☆☆☆☆

written by JoselynBenson on 23/08/2015

Bought this product in the hope that spending a bit more money would be worthwhile. First thing to say is that it will not take modern full size dinner plates. Within a few weeks the rotating arm fell off and could not be replaced. We continue to use it. After a couple of years the on/off switch stopped working properly and needed a huge amount of perseverance to get it to start. Finally it just stopped working. Strikes me that a great deal of effort went into the look of the product which frankly is of little interest to me - i just wanted a dish washer that worked. Never going to buy any LG white goods again.

“LDS5811WW Diswaher has design flaws”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 06/04/2013

After the warrenty runs out the wires in the door to the PCB will break. By opening the door over 3 years the wires are so small they come apart due to metal fatigue. Poor design. Gasket at the base of the door also leaks. This is an expensive repair since gasket is built into the door and it must be replaced. Stay away from LG. Likes-quiet and energy efficient.

“Will not clean dishes”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 23/03/2013

Bought new to match other items in new house so far this is a POS, paid good money for it. It sure has a nice case and interior, if it would clean as good as it looks the other companys might as well close shop becase there is not a better looking unit out there. I hate to do it but I am going to have to put some full auto rounds into it and a few 12ga this horse can no longer do the job. About 1.5yrs use unit was new in house never used.

written by on 31/10/2010

Motor died after 1 yr, had it replaced through warranty. 1E codes came up constant even after the replacement and now there's no power - it's less than four years old. It was supposed to be whisper quiet and it sounded like a lear jet taking off! The dishes never really came out dry. We had an LG TV that died within a year as well - will NEVER buy LG again!

written by on 15/02/2010

runs for over 2 hours on regular mode and over an hour on "quick" mode. does not clean as well as advertised. rec'd an iE error after less than two years. thanks to some online help from other owners i was able to open the front door panel and find a broken wire, just needs spliced and its working again. this was the most expensive model and i would not recommend it again. the utensil trays broke almost immediately and now the forks, etc fall thru to the bottom. very disappointing.

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 24/01/2010

I have an LG refrigerator and it operates great but this dish washer sucks to say the least. The motor / pump went after 2 years. $200, and weeks of aggravation. Then 5 months later the seals let go, $150. The racks broke. (Didn't replace) now the water supply code of 1E is showing up. I'm done dumping money into it. Yes it looks slick but don't let it fool you. I would get another one even if they were giving them away and trust me they are not. DO NOT BUY ..

written by on 10/01/2010

Worked great for a little less than 2 years. Since then, problems, problems, problems! Quit working so I followed troubleshooting and repair recommendations and replaced sump assy. to no avail. LG support is dodgy when being confronted with problems. It's the worst money I've ever spent.

“NEVER WILL I BUY AN LG AGAIN. THEY SAY ITS THE TOP OF...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 28/11/2009

NEVER WILL I BUY AN LG AGAIN. THEY SAY ITS THE TOP OF THE LINE - IN PRICE ONLY. THE CHEAP DISHWASHERS I'VE OWNED IN THE PAST DID SO MUCH OF A BETTER JOB OF CLEANING AND DRYING THE DISHES FOR SO MUCH LESS MONEY. THE STACKING OF DISHES IN AN LG IS A REAL NIGHTMARE (TRY AND GET TRUE FULL LOAD IN IT). I HAVE HATED THIS MACHINE FROM THE FIRST USE - NEED TO RINSE DISHES FIRST NOW TOO. I LIVE IN AN OPEN CONCEPT HOUSE SO THIS "QUIET DISHWASHER" I PUSHED FOR. IT'S NOT QUIET ENOUGH AS IT CLUNKS AND MAKES STRANGE NOISES. I WILL BUY MAGTAG OR EQUIVALENT NEXT TIME. BY THE SOUNDS OF THIS ONE IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE IT NEEDS REPLACING - WHAT A LET DOWN. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

“I will never buy an LG Product again. I am on my...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 23/09/2009

I will never buy an LG Product again. I am on my second LG LDS5811 diswasher which was replaced by the seller. The first one leaked and did not clean the dishes, the second one does not clean the dishes either. LG does not have Customer Service and I am tired of fighting with them. This has been the most frustrating experience I have had, it should be recalled. Will check reviews before I buy anything from now on.

★★☆☆☆

written by on 20/07/2009

The LG LDS5811 is a total waste of money.. Might as well skip putting dishes into dishwasher. They get a hand cleaning before being put into dishwasher , then still end up with the food residue on them in spite of having a service call when the machine basically quit functioning several months ago. Oh for a functioning reliable dishwasher. Nothing fancy. Just one that does the job. By the way, it is used, at the most, once a day.This model should never have hit the market.

I purchsed the LG LDS5811 dishwasher and fridge by LG based on Future Shops upsell. And I WILL NEVER BUY LG AGAIN. My dishwaher showed and LE error code and I now have pay almost $600
for a new motor pump assembly. The dishwasher is out of warranty for a 7 months and the unit cost me 1400.00.
LG customer service is a joke aslo, I have been waiting 4 days for both complaint and warranty departments to get back to me.

written by muscle75 on 19/04/2009

Lots of bad reviews here of the LG LDS5811, and justifiably so. I purchased the LDS5811 on 12/26/2005. Today (4/18/2009) it started leaking heavily from the door gasket......my Best Buy warranty expired 4 months ago......Darn. After reading all the various web postings on the unit, i decided to look at the dryer gasket, yup that has failed too, just waiting for it to begin leaking too. My expectation for a $900 appliance is that it will last 10 years minimum, realistically, I'd like to see 15years. Despite being loaded with attractive features, I will refrain from purchasing any LG appliances, as I'm sure they have fundamental design problems across the board.

After only two and half years with my LG LDS5811 dishwasher wire harness in door broke and part is no longer available! Seems to be a problem with a lot of customers and LG could care less

written by pzerr on 09/03/2009

High end LG LDS5811 dishwasher. Paid about $1500. We were renovating so didn't get installed for about 3 months after purchase. Work a few days then started making noises. Not cleaning well. Could not get service repairman. Shop refused to take it back. Finally LG gets repairman to location. Says motor is not working and replaces. Problem persists. Repairman says discharge hose too low. We repair at our own cost and problem still not fixed. Third trip and now at end of warranty repairman notices fully burnt wires bundle inside door. Works about a month but cleaning marginal. Starts making noises again and cleaning very poor. Suspect wires burnt again. Past warrantee no longer calling LG. This thing has worked maybe 3 months out of the last 18 properly. Only consolation is to make reviews every chance I get.

written by rbboulware on 01/10/2008

I purchased an LG LDS5811 dishwasher from Home Depot in 4/2006. I stopped working in the middle of 2007 and was determined to be due to a faulty control panel from a leaking gasket. Finally, after numerous calls to LG they eventually replaced the dishwasher altogether, Now the NEW unit make noise and will not dry dishes even with rinse aid. Once again I called LG and they refuse to cover under any warranty. I will absolutely REFUSE to purchase another LG product.

written by hanksterthegangster on 29/07/2008

Bought the LG 7811 model in August 2005, (top of the line at Home Depot) and it basically worked until March of 2008, when after each 2 HR cycle the detergent cup still had between 20% and 70% spread between still in the cup, streaking down the inside of the door, and accumulated in the bottom ....dishes obviously are not clean since A. the detergent never fully disolved and did its job and B. the rinse cycle could not have possibly been effective with granulated detergent still present ...
Any logical person would deduct that the door on the dispenser had not opened until the end of the cycle, but in 5 seperate visits from The Appliance Doctor of Ladson, virtually every component was replaced under our 5 year extended warranty. This included the main pump and motor, the alternating motor which controls which arm is active, (top or bottom) the printed circuit control board, and a few other minor parts, but never the actual plastic detergent cup dispenser. At the insistence of the supposed authorized servich technician we discarded a large carton of Sam's Club detergent, which he said was no good, replaced it with Cascade, then after that product yielded the exact same result we were told to switch to the little pillow shaped packets marketed by several companies. Another tech said we shouls switch to liquid ... calls to the LG tech center resulted in insulting comments from the help desk persons, and finally Home Depot (the good guys in this awful ordeal) agreed to replace our unit at no cost .... the brand new unit was installed on Friday afternoon, July 25, 2008, but ...drumroll please....when it was run for the first and only time on Sunday morning the exact same result/problem occurred. Again let me stress that Home Depot is probably kicking themselves for ever having taken on this awful LG product line, and relatively cheerfully under these circumstances refunded me the entire purchase price of $1,091.44 on Monday afternoon. We purchased a Bosch replacement one hour later and it is being installed this afternoon. Clearly, LG has a design and or service problem, and pretending they are unaware of it is ludicrous.

written by dzbum411 on 27/07/2008

We got and IE error after having the dishwasher for 3 years. IE is stressed motor error. Luckily my father is an electrician and we had LG send him a free control board (since that was still under warranty). We just replaced the control board and so far so good! So, don't waste $ on a repair man, just order a new control board and install it and you should be good to go!

The customer service department is poor. After this LG LDS5811 dishwasher, LG has lost me as a customer and i will never purchase another LG product. When you pay $700 for an appliance and it lasts less than 2 years before major repairs then I think there's something wrong.

Had the motor on my LG LDS5811 replaced about 3 months after purchase. Now...2 years later...motor is going again. Fortunately, they extended the parts warranty to 3 years for me. Doesn't seem to dry dishes properly anymore. I will never buy an LG home appliance ever, ever again!
