Dishwasher Troubleshooting Tips: My dishes are still wet

Does your dishwasher leave your dishes wet?

There are several reasons that dishes may be wet when they come out of your dishwasher. If your dishes are still wet after using the dishwasher, follow these troubleshooting tips to maximize drying:

1. Ensure there's enough space between dishware and cutlery when loading the dishwasher. The space allows water to drain off.

2. Add rinse aid. Review your owner's manual to learn how and where to add it. Rinse aid helps water droplets slide off dishware thus improving drying efforts.

3. Select the 'Sanitize' or 'Extra Dry' option. Review your owner's manual to learn if your dishwasher offers those options.
