Dishwasher leaves dishes wet at the end of the cycle; poor drying performance.

Safety first: Allow the dishwasher to cool before inspecting vents.

• Check rinse aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser and set the dosage according to water hardness (usually mid‑setting).
• Use appropriate program: Select a hotter program with drying phase rather than eco/quick for heavily loaded racks.
• Inspect vent: On models with a drying vent, ensure it is not blocked by cabinets or debris.
• Loading tips: Angle plastic items so water can run off. Open the door slightly at the end of the cycle to release steam.
• Check heater: If water is not hot during final rinse, test the heater and NTC as per heating faults.
