Dishes, especially plastic items, are still wet at the end of the cycle.

Safety first: Allow dishes to cool slightly before handling to avoid burns.

Step-by-step checks:

• Rinse aid: Check and refill the rinse aid dispenser. Adjust the dosage setting higher if spotting or wet dishes persist.
• Cycle selection: Use a cycle with heated dry or sanitize options for better drying.
• Check heater: Open the door immediately after cycle completion. If the interior is cold and damp, the heater or fan may not be working.
• Vent inspection: Ensure the door vent is not blocked and that the vent fan (if equipped) runs during drying.
• Heater test: If no heat is present, the heating element or control board may need professional diagnosis and replacement.

Warning: Do not place non-dishwasher-safe plastics in the unit; they may warp near the heater.
