Dishwasher does not dry dishes properly; items remain wet at end of cycle

Safety first: Allow dishes to cool before unloading.

• Use rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and adjust the dosage higher if necessary.
• Program selection: Use a hotter or intensive program instead of Eco for better drying, especially for plastic items.
• Unload correctly: Open the door slightly at the end of the cycle to release steam, and unload the lower basket first to avoid dripping onto dry dishes below.
• Check heating: If water is not hot during the wash, the heater may be faulty and should be tested as described in heating-related errors.
