I told Home Depot again it was a known defect, that I was just told that by LG. Home Depot said that they could refer me to a local repair service, at my expense. I told Home Depot that I would no longer shop for LG products and that I would not do any further business with them.
Here are the approximate amounts of sodium in a given amount of table salt: 1  1/4 teaspoon salt = 575 mg sodium. 2  1/2 teaspoon salt = 1,150 mg sodium. 3  3/4 teaspoon salt = 1,725 mg sodium.  1 teaspoon salt = 2,300 mg sodium.
So while 1/4 teaspoon of table salt has 590 mg sodium, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt has 400-590 mg sodium. But if you compare them by weight, the sodium levels are about the same. Bottom line, cut down on the salt, whatever the type! We Americans have way too much of it.
