Top Control Dishwashers

LG top control dishwashers are designed to combine sleek aesthetics with powerful cleaning technology, giving you a balance of form and function that enhances any modern kitchen. By moving the control panel to the top edge of the door, these dishwashers offer a minimalist front panel design that integrates seamlessly with your cabinetry. This hidden-control design also reduces accidental touches, making them a smart choice for families with children or busy kitchens where spills and bumps are common.

Superior Cleaning Technology with QuadWash^® & TrueSteam^®

At the heart of LG top control dishwasher is QuadWash^®, a cleaning system that uses four multi-motion spray arms instead of the traditional two. This ensures water jets hit multiple angles, reaching corners that standard dishwashers often miss. Paired with TrueSteam^®, which uses high-temperature steam to break down tough residues on dishes. LG top control dishwashers deliver powerful results while being gentle on delicate items.

Flexible Interior Design with LG Top Control Dishwashers

Inside, LG’s SmartRack^™ system adapts to your needs. Adjustable racks, folding tines, and a dedicated third rack for utensils let you maximize space and customize each load. Whether you’re loading oversized pots, wine glasses, or dozens of plates after a dinner party, LG’s flexible interior ensures everything fits.

Durability and Premium Finishes with Top Control Dishwashers

LG top control dishwashers are available in PrintProof^® stainless steel and black stainless steel, both designed to resist smudges and fingerprints. This makes cleaning the exterior as easy as wiping with a cloth, ensuring your kitchen always looks polished. Built with durable stainless-steel tubs, LG dishwashers are engineered for long-term reliability and resistance to stains and odors.

Top Control vs. Front Control Dishwasher: Which is Right for You?

While front control dishwashers keep cycle settings visible and accessible, top control dishwashers prioritize a clean, integrated look. If you value design consistency and want hidden buttons that reduce clutter, top control is the way to go.

LG offers both configurations, so you can choose the model that best fits your kitchen style and preferences. Have a look at our front control dishwashers for more options. LG also offers stainless steel dishwashers to complement your kitchen's aesthetic.

Top Control Dishwashers FAQs

Q: What makes a top control dishwasher different from a front control model?

A: Top control dishwashers have buttons on the top edge of the door, hidden when the door is closed. This creates a sleek, modern look and prevents accidental button presses. Front control models keep the panel visible for quick cycle changes. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize design integration or convenience.

Q: How does LG QuadWash^® improve dishwashing performance?

A: QuadWash^® uses four spray arms that rotate and pivot in multiple directions, ensuring multiple corners of the dishwasher are reached. This results in a more thorough cleaning compared to traditional two-arm designs, reducing the need for pre-rinsing dishes and saving valuable time.

Q: Do LG top control dishwashers connect with smart home systems?

A: Yes, LG ThinQ^® technology allows you to start, stop, and monitor cycles directly from your smartphone. They’re also compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so you can use voice commands to check status or control settings hands-free.

Q: Can LG top control dishwashers handle large or awkward items?

A: Absolutely. With adjustable racks, folding tines, and a third utensil rack, you can reconfigure the interior to fit everything from tall stockpots to delicate stemware. The flexibility makes them ideal for both daily family use and hosting larger gatherings.

Q: Do I need a special detergent for LG top control dishwashers?

A: While you can use most standard dishwasher detergents, it’s best to use high-efficiency pods or tablets that are optimized for modern dishwashers. These ensure the best cleaning performance and help protect the appliance’s long-term durability.
