Possible Causes

Heater element not operating, Rinse aid empty, Using air-dry or eco mode, Faulty vent fan (if equipped) on Monogram dishwasher

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before testing heater or vent components.

  • Check cycle options: Ensure a heated dry option is selected and not an energy-saver air-dry mode.
  • Use rinse aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser to improve sheeting and drying.
  • Inspect heater: Look for visible damage. If dishes are cold at end of cycle, the heater may not be energizing.
  • Check vent operation: On models with a vent fan, listen for fan operation during dry. If silent, the fan or vent assembly may be faulty.

Test heater continuity with a meter and replace if open. If heater is good but not powered, the control board or thermostat may be defective.
