Possible Causes

No rinse aid or incorrect setting, failed drying fan (if equipped), low final rinse temperature, door not opened after cycle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Check rinse aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser and set the dosage according to water hardness.
  • Use appropriate program: Select a program with drying phase and avoid quick cycles for heavily loaded racks.
  • Open door after cycle: Slightly open the door at the end of the program to release steam.
  • Check drying fan: On models with active drying, listen for fan operation. If absent, test and replace the fan as described in E07.
  • Verify heating: Ensure water is heating properly (see E03/E09). Without proper heating, drying will be poor.
