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

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before inspection.

• Use rinse aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser and adjust the dosage setting higher if spotting or wet dishes persist.
• Check drying options: Ensure a heated dry or extra dry option is selected if available.
• Avoid overloading: Do not nest dishes; allow air circulation between items.
• Inspect fan (if fitted): Listen for the drying fan during the dry phase. If silent, the fan may have failed.

If the heater is not working (dishes are cold), see heating-related faults; the heater element or control board may need service.
