Dishes come out wet and not properly dried at the end of the cycle.

Safety first: Allow the dishwasher to cool before touching internal metal parts.

Steps:

• Check rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and set to an appropriate dosage for your water hardness.
• Use proper program: Select a program with drying and avoid quick or eco cycles if you need maximum drying.
• Load correctly: Angle dishes so water can run off. Avoid overlapping items that trap water.
• Check heating: Open the door immediately after a hot cycle; if the air inside is cold, the heater may not be working (see heating circuit faults).

When to call a technician: If there is no heat or the drying fan is not operating, professional diagnosis of the heater and control board is recommended.
