Dishwasher leaves water droplets and poor drying results; plastics are especially wet.

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

• Refill rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and set to an appropriate dosage. Rinse aid is critical for good drying.
• Program selection: Use a standard or intensive program with full drying rather than a quick or eco cycle if you need better drying.
• Open door after cycle: After the program ends, open the door slightly for 10–15 minutes to allow steam to escape.
• Check heater function: If dishes are also not very hot at the end, the heater may not be working correctly. See heating-related faults for further checks.
• Active drying systems: On models with a drying fan, if you hear no fan noise at the end of the cycle, the fan may be faulty and require replacement.
