Questions that only have an answer for the LG dishwasher

My LG LDP6810 door opens by itself at the end of the cycle.+

That is LG's auto-open drying — the door opens automatically after the wash to let steam escape and dry air in, improving drying without a lot of heat. It is intentional, so leave it open during the drying phase. Keep rinse aid filled too, since it helps water sheet off plastics that LG's low-heat drying leaves dampest.
