Dishwasher Not Drying Dishes Completely - Top 5 Reasons & Fixes - Whirlpool, GE, LG, Maytag & More

[@almoss8020]

Excellent video..thank you.. What it tells me is to replace the dishwasher if it is not drying right..cause all of those fixes will cost more than the dishwasher price anyway. New mid to low price appliances are made nowadays to last only a few years if u are lucky..my whirlpool dishwasher failed in the first 2 months and was fixed under warranty

Great video, saved me an expensive repair visit

[@jenbrewer8826]

Since this informative video was centered around dishwashers that have elements, mines does not have an element. Thanks for giving me some ideas and reasons as to why my dishes are still wet at the end of cycle.

[@gwenswindow9067]

AppliancePartsPros always give good advised!

Also look if water float switch is working . If it is bad dishwasher might not cycle into drying mode , and not be getting enough water to clean or go through cycles

800 dollar Whirlpool dishwasher. Would gladly trade back for used GE we paid 25 dollars for 10 years ago

[@ncdave4life]

Matt, my GE Profile PDW8280NSS dishwasher has the opposite problem. I ran a load of dishes last night, and this morning the green "clean" light was on, indicating that the cycle was complete, but *_THE HEATING ELEMENT WAS STILL ON!_* The darn thing had been baking my dishes all night long! I turned off the circuit breaker, waited an hour or so for it to cool down, and turned the breaker back on. The heating element stayed off. Do you have any idea what caused this?

[@appliancepartspros]

Do you happen to have a mulitmeter? Have you checked for any damaged wires? Have you had any type of power outages recently?

[@ncdave4life]

Yes, @@appliancepartspros, I have multimeters. No, I haven't even pulled the dishwasher out from under the counter yet. What do you suspect? No, we haven't had any power outages lately (but my dishwasher experienced a one hour outage when I shut off the breaker, this morning, to turn off the heating element).

[@appliancepartspros]

You could be having an issue with the board. There maybe a relay that is stuck on the board causing the element to stay on.

[@ncdave4life]

Well, it stayed off when I turned the breaker back on. Do these dishwashers use a mechanical relay, or solid state, to control the heating element? Is it just a single high-power relay? Where is it located?

[@ncdave4life]

I've run the dishwasher a couple of times since then (with the same settings: "cook ware" and "heated dry"), and it worked fine. I can't possibly fix a problem which doesn't recur. So, for now, I'm just only starting the dishwasher when I expect to be around to check it 130 minutes later. When I start the dishwasher, I talk to my phone: *_"Hey, Google, set alarm for two hours and ten minutes from now."_* If the problem recurs, and gets to the point where I can reliably reproduce it, then I'll try to fix it. @appliancepartspros, do these things use electromechanical relays, or solid state?

I have a Whirlpool WDTA50SAHZ0 that's not drying or heating the water up much. When a cycle is done, I can still smell the detergent which gets left on the dishes as a white film. I've checked: water temperature hot side: 115F heating coil/element continuity: positive hi-temp thermistor continuity: positive. What could be the cause? I've selected hi-temp wash, heated dry, extended dry, and sanitize. I used to see steam come out when I opened the door 30-40 minutes into a wash, but now the water is barely warm, even though the hot water coming out of the sink faucet is 115F.

[@appliancepartspros]

The water coming to the unit should be 120 degrees. You will need to check the setting on your water heater if it's just 115 coming to the unit. You will need to test the heater for resistance, it should read between 10 and 40 ohms. To test the thermister you test it for resistance and it should read between 45K and 48K ohms.

[@pqtat718]

@@appliancepartspros your video says to test the heating element for continuity and continuity = good. I found the service manual for a similar Whirlpool dishwasher and it says the heating element should show between 8 and 30 ohms. Even your reply says it should be between 10 and 40 ohms. Can you see how that directly contradicts what your video says?

[@appliancepartspros]

The video is a generic video so it can be used for different models. It is always recommended to check for the troubleshooting for your specific model and that is where the information that was provided came from.

[@martypalmiere7672]

@@pqtat718 Does 8-30 ohms fall within the 10-40 ohm range?......Your Good, its not rocket science.

[@pqtat718]

@@martypalmiere7672 I'm not harping on the ohms range. I took issue with the continuity test because in the video, the technician doesn't say anything about measuring it for resistance in addition to continuity.

[@DerGolf2000]

I have one of these Bosch Dishwashers.....The last about 20 minutes its makes a lot of noise. Like 50 hz loud humming. When i open the lid i can hear some air ventilating inside the dishwasher. When i close the lid again the humming start again after about 30 seconds. Is there a blower motor running on 50 hz? (Denmark 230V 50 hz)

[@1LElife]

i just bought a new construction house with a brand new whirlpool and it does not dry dishes even when i select “heated fan dry”…. it’s super annoying and imo inexcusable for a brand new 2023 product

[@MonkeyMD3]

They might've forgotten to punch out the tab in the garbage disposal where water drains out to. Also try resetting the control board by pressing the buttons on the front 1-2-3 in succession 3 times

[@carmelom269]

I wish he would have demonstrated how to remove the heating element coil. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model number of your dishwasher and we can look and see if there is a video for that.

[@FLIPPER1439]

“””Brand new whirlpool dishwasher is not drying dishes like” I have no idea model number. I bought a condo and the person never saved any info on any appliance that were bought in 2023

Repair video

[@appliancepartspros]

What kind of repair video are you looking for? What is the model number of your appliance?

[@sajidrafique375]

Oh F... Just buy a new one..LoL
