How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before testing heater or vent components.

1. Check rinse aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser and set the dosage according to your water hardness.
2. Use appropriate cycle: Select a cycle with heated dry or high-temperature wash for better drying.
3. Open door after cycle: Slightly open the door at the end of the cycle to let steam escape and speed drying.
4. Test heating element: If dishes are cold and wet, test the heating element for continuity and replace if open.
5. Inspect vent fan: If your Insignia model has a vent fan, ensure it runs during drying. Replace the vent fan assembly if failed.

Plastic items typically dry less well than glass or ceramic; this is normal.

Dishes are wet or have poor drying at the end of the cycle.
