Possible Causes
Rinse aid empty, Failed heating element, Faulty vent fan or vent door, Using air-dry cycle instead of heated dry
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing heater or vent components.
- Check cycle settings: Ensure a heated dry option is selected and not an energy-saver air-dry mode.
- Fill rinse aid: Confirm the rinse aid dispenser is full and set to an appropriate level.
- Test heating element: Access the element from below and test for continuity. Replace if open.
- Inspect vent and fan: Check that the vent outlet is not blocked and that the vent fan (if equipped) runs during drying. Replace the vent assembly if the fan is not operating.
- Load dishes properly: Avoid nesting items and ensure plastic items are on the top rack to improve drying.
