Dishes come out wet; poor drying performance even on heated or Zeolith drying cycles.

Safety first: Allow the dishwasher to cool before working near the heater or fan.

• Check rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and set to an appropriate dosage.
• Use proper program: Select a program with drying and avoid quick or eco modes if maximum drying is desired.
• Do not open door early: Allow the full cycle to complete and wait a few minutes before opening the door.
• Check heater operation: If dishes are cold at end of cycle, test the heater and related components as described for heating faults.
• Inspect drying fan (if equipped): Listen for fan operation during drying. Replace the fan if it does not run.
