Possible Causes
Rinse aid empty or set too low, Eco program with low final rinse temperature, Faulty drying fan (if equipped), AutoOpen not functioning
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal electrical work required for basic checks; unplug only if accessing panels.
- Check rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid reservoir is filled and the dosage setting is appropriate for your water hardness.
- Program selection: Use an intensive or normal program with higher final rinse temperature instead of quick or eco cycles for better drying.
- Unload correctly: Open the door slightly at the end of the cycle to release steam. Always unload the lower basket first to avoid dripping from upper racks.
- Check AutoOpen: If your model has AutoOpen, verify it is enabled and that the door can open freely without obstruction.
- Fan check: If equipped with a drying fan and you hear no fan noise, the fan assembly may be faulty and require replacement.
