Dacor Poor Drying / Vent or Heater Issue

Dishes remain wet at the end of the cycle; drying performance is poor.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Rinse aid empty or set too low, Failed Dacor heating element, Faulty drying fan or vent, Using eco cycle with no heated dry

Safety first: Turn off power before testing heater or fan components.

Check rinse aid level: Fill the Dacor rinse aid dispenser and adjust to a higher setting.
Use appropriate cycle: Select a cycle with heated dry or sanitize to improve drying performance.
Inspect vent and fan: Ensure the vent outlet is not blocked. On models with a fan, listen for fan operation during drying; replace the Dacor drying fan if inoperative.
Test heating element: If dishes are cold and wet, test the heater for continuity and replace if open.
