Possible Causes

Rinse aid empty, Vent fan not operating, Door opened too soon after cycle, Plastic items retaining water

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing vent or fan components.

  • Use rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid reservoir is full and set to an appropriate dosage.
  • Check cycle selection: Use a cycle with heated dry enabled and avoid eco modes that reduce drying.
  • Inspect vent and fan: Clean the vent area and confirm the fan (if equipped) runs during drying. Replace the vent fan assembly if inoperative.
  • Allow standing time: Leave the door closed for 15–30 minutes after the cycle to allow residual heat to complete drying, then crack the door open.
