Possible Causes

Rinse aid empty, Vent fan not operating, Heater not energizing, Low final rinse temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Drying issues can be diagnosed without opening panels. Avoid touching hot surfaces immediately after a cycle.

  • Fill rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is full and dosage is set appropriately.
  • Use heated dry options: Select cycles and options that include heated drying.
  • Load for drying: Angle dishes to allow water to run off; avoid large flat surfaces that trap water.
  • Check vent area: Ensure the interior vent is not blocked by dishes.
  • When to call for service: If there is no warmth at the end of the cycle and drying remains poor, the heater or vent fan assembly may require professional service.
