Do you have a dishwasher not drying dishes? There’s probably a simple explanation.
Load Your Dishes Strategically

Learn how to properly load your dishwasher before running the wash cycle.
Use the Correct Settings
So your dishwasher stays wet inside? You can change that by adjusting certain settings. For everyday dish loads of varying food soil, choose the Auto-Cycle to maximize drying. The Sanitize Cycle helps eliminate bacteria and also enhances drying.
For the dishwasher’s perfect dry result, select the Extra Dry cycle for the maximum drying effect.
Use a Rinse Aid
If your dishwasher doesn’t dry well, try using a rinse aid, such as Finish Jet Dry, which allows water to slide off easily reducing dry time.
Add rinse aid directly into the dispenser and close the lid. Watch this video tutorial for detailed instructions on how to add rinse aid to a dishwasher.
