Dishes Still Wet When the Programme Ends?

Why Is My Dishwasher Not Drying?
Most dishwashers dry by heating the final rinse and letting the hot dishes evaporate the water, helped by rinse aid. Plastic stays wetter than glass and ceramic because it holds less heat, which is normal. When everything comes out wet, the rinse aid has usually run out, an eco or quick programme is in use, or the heater, drying fan or vent has failed.
Some Bosch, Siemens and Samsung models open the door automatically at the end of the cycle to let steam escape, so the drying works differently. Our dishwasher repairs technicians test the heater, sensor and fan on LG, Defy, Hisense and all other brands too. Top up the rinse aid first, then book a repair.
Signs of a Drying Problem
Everything wet, not just plastic
Rinse aid, heater or fan.
Dishes cold at the end
The heater or temperature sensor has failed.
Water pooled on cups and bowls
Loading, or no rinse aid.
Steam not escaping
A blocked vent or failed fan.
Common Causes of Poor Drying
- Rinse aid empty or set too low
- Eco or quick programme
- Heater element or sensor failure
- Drying fan or vent fault
- Dishes loaded so water pools
When to stop using the appliance
Switch the appliance off at the wall if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking, exposed wiring, repeated breaker trips or water near electrical parts. Leave electrical covers, high-voltage parts and the heater, motor, pump and anything behind a cover to a technician, then call or WhatsApp 0719 227 718 and we will arrange an assessment.
What Can You Safely Check First?
Top up the rinse aid and turn its dial up a setting. Run a normal or intensive programme with drying enabled, load cups and bowls at an angle, and unload the bottom rack first so drips from above land on nothing.
How We Diagnose Poor Drying
The technician checks the rinse aid dispenser, measures the final rinse temperature, and tests the heater, temperature sensor, drying fan and vent.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dishwasher Not Drying
Why are my dishes still wet after the dishwasher?
Usually the rinse aid has run out or an eco programme is in use. If everything is wet and cold on a normal programme, the heater or sensor needs testing.
Why is plastic always wet in my dishwasher?
Plastic holds less heat than glass or ceramic, so water does not evaporate from it as well. A little water on plastic is normal.
Do I need rinse aid in my dishwasher?
Yes, for good drying. It helps water run off dishes instead of sitting in drops. Top it up whenever the indicator shows.
How much does it cost to fix a dishwasher that is not drying?
Often it is just rinse aid. A heater or fan is a moderate repair. We diagnose first and quote before any work starts.
