LG dishwashers (South Korea) stand out with TrueSteam, QuadWash, Inverter Direct Drive, and ThinQ connectivity. This modern technology line is chosen by many Vietnamese families. This article provides instructions on selecting the correct dishwasher tablets, salt, and rinse aid to ensure LG operates durably and efficiently.
1. Features of LG dishwashers
- TrueSteam: high-temperature steam spray softens stains → dishwashing tablet enzymes need to be compatible with steam.
- QuadWash: 4 multi-directional spray arms → tablets need to dissolve evenly, without clumping.
- Inverter Direct Drive: motor automatically adjusts power → tablets should not create excessive foam.
- ThinQ Wi-Fi: control via app – still requires manual loading of tablets and salt.
- EasyRack Plus: flexible racks → easily accommodates tall pots and glasses.
- Integrated water softening system: has a salt reservoir (not all models – check your specific model).

8. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My LG dishwasher sometimes displays an "OE" error - is it related to the dishwasher tablet?
A: The OE error indicates a drainage issue. It could be due to a clogged drain hose, dirty filter, or cheap dishwasher tablets producing too much foam. Check and switch to European tablets like Largo.
Q: Can LG dishwashers be used with dishwashing gel?
A: The specifications allow it, but gel is not as optimal as tablets. Largo tablets are compressed with enzymes + cleaning agents, offering higher efficiency and easier storage.
