Nearly five years ago, a sales guy at Sears told me LG couldn't decide whether they wanted to build a dishwasher with a filter or a disposer. They'd had some troubles with the LG models and he wouldn't sell one unless the customer insisted over his attempts at steering them toward another brand.
A customer of mine bought one of the first LG models on the US market back in '07. She loved the racking, the huge capacity and cleaning was excellent. The first repair came at about the one year mark, LG replaced the entire pump assembly w/motor after a two week wait for the parts and then it sat for another two weeks while a sump seal was ordered and arrived. It worked for another 2 years well enough and then needed a pump/motor replacement again. Toward the end of it's 4th year of useful life, an electronic board went out and they ditched the machine for a Bosch.
Our member, Frigilux, had an LG (second or third generation?) that he really liked the performance of, but was that the machine that leaked and caused damage? Maybe he'll chime in here with the history of his machine.
