Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any panels. Drying components can be hot after a cycle.

Confirm symptom: Run a full cycle and check if the dishes are still very wet and cold at the end. Listen for the fan during the drying phase.
Access fan assembly: On many Hoover dishwashers, the drying fan is located in the door or on the side panel. Remove the inner door panel or side panel to locate it.
Check for obstructions: Inspect the air duct and vent for blockages (plastic wrap, labels, or insulation). Clear any obstructions.
Test fan motor: With a multimeter, check continuity of the fan motor. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. Also check that the fan spins freely by hand.
Inspect wiring: Ensure the fan connector is firmly seated on the control board and at the fan terminals.
Replace faulty fan: If the motor is defective, replace the drying fan assembly with a Hoover-compatible part.

Dishwasher displays E10; drying performance is poor and sometimes the fan does not run.
