Dishwasher does not dry dishes; items are wet at the end of the cycle but washing seems normal.

Safety first: Allow the dishwasher to cool and disconnect power before testing the heater.

• Check rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and set to a medium or high setting.
• Use proper cycle: Select a cycle with heated dry or extra dry options if available on your Summit model.
• Test heating element: Access the heating element terminals from underneath and test for continuity. Replace if open.
• Inspect vent system: If your model has a vent fan assembly, check that the vent is not blocked and that the fan operates during drying. Replace the fan or vent flap if defective.
