SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20220615-06227-3774073. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: LG LDT7808SS (Under the counter dishwasher). Incident: 6/14/2022: The dishwasher began to emit smoke and a burning odor, while it was in use. It had been in operation for approximately 1 hour. The consumer�s husband opened the door and hit the power button to stop it. None of the dishes were damaged, but there was a burning, hot, electrical odor and smoke emitted from the right side of the unit. 6/15/2022: The consumer called the firm�s corporate office today, but could not get a live person. She left a voice message. She also called the firm�s customer service number, but was not able to speak with a live representative. The consumer checked the Internet and saw numerous reports on-line, related to this firm�s dishwasher and some of the sites, indicated that people�s homes had burned down. Based on this information, the consumer does not want the product in her home and intends to have it replaced. Lastly, she found that there was a dishwasher class action suit with this manufacturer�s model, and she is considering joining that suit. The class action lawsuit pertains to control panel shutting off. Our dishwasher incident is not within guidelines of that class action lawsuit.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260825-18C3D-2147311920. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Product: LG LDT7808SS (Product Name: LG 24-inch Top Control Smart Built-In Dishwasher with QuadWash and TrueSteam Model Number: LDT7808SS Color: Stainless Steel Dimensions (Width x Height x Depth): 23.75" x 33.6" x 24.6" Purpose: Residential kitchen appliance used for standard household dishwashing.). Incident: On August 6, 2026, at approximately 3:30 AM, our LG 24" Top Control Smart Built-In Dishwasher (Model: LDT7808SS) catastrophically failed and caught fire in our kitchen. The smoke alarms sounded, which woke my family up. The local fire department responded to our 911 call (Incident #[REDACTED]), confirmed the dishwasher was actively on fire, extinguished it, and physically removed the unit from the residence to prevent the fire from spreading further. The fire melted the appliance's internal electrical components and wiring, charred the surrounding kitchen cabinetry, and caused significant smoke and soot damage throughout the house, which is currently requiring tens of thousands of dollars in professional fire mitigation and environmental cleanup. The product was installed in a standard residential kitchen and was being used for normal, everyday household dishwashing. Fortunately, no one in my family was physically injured. However, because this occurred in the middle of the night while we were asleep, this appliance defect could have easily resulted in fatal smoke inhalation or a catastrophic structural fire had the smoke alarms not alerted us in time. I am reporting this because the catastrophic failure of this product's electrical components presents a severe fire hazard and an imminent threat to the safety of other consumers.
