Why Are Your Dishes Still Wet After Dishwasher Cycle | How to Get Dry Dishes

[@ericr2zz]

Total BS. Dishwashers should dry the dishes no matter how clean/dirty the dishes are...

[@johnmartin7158]

My new AEG dishwasher washer won’t dry properly. Useless. Wish I had bought the Bosch series 8. I agree they should dry them no matter what. I use rinse aid and a fat lot of good that was.

[@Akshay-08]

I know right! I used to live in an apartment with a GE dishwasher that had simple options like Normal, Light, and Heavy cycles, along with Heat Boost and Dry - that’s all it needed. No fancy cascade platinum or rinse aid required, and it worked flawlessly. But then, we moved into our new house and decided to get an LG dishwasher with all these ridiculous sensors and whatnot. Guess what? Total disappointment. It has already needed repair seven times - what a shame

[@johnmartin7158]

@@Akshay-08 Actually to update you, I told department store to pick that useless AEG dishwasher up. After much to and fro and procrastination from them they did. Gotta refund and I purchased the Bosch series 8. And I’ve found it a fantastic machine. Dishes come out real hot and bone dry. Absolutely no problem whatsoever. Sorry about your LG dishwasher. Can you get the retail store to pick it up and get reimbursed. Cheers.

[@kathyfann]

When I purchased this dishwasher I expected it to clean and Dry the dishes like all the other dishwashers I have had. If the goal is to make them so energy efficient that they no longer dry the dishwasher I don’t want one that won’t dry the dishes

[@johnmartin7158]

@@kathyfann Good point. I can tolerate a slight spec of left over, but not really, lol, but for dishes to come out damp and many dripping is totally out of the question. I’m extremely happy with my Bosch, but I’m quite partial to the very high end Miele as well.

[@ladycupcake299]

Wow the quality and efficiency of everything is getting worse...a dishwasher shouldn't be this complicated and annoying! Just dry the damn dishes...🤦‍♀️

[@EfieldHfield_377]

Thx for the video. I find many modern appliances loaded with features no one wants or uses. My last dishwasher just washed dishes and dry them clean. Nothing but soap and water. This unit has all kinds of settings and doesn't dry. SMH. Now I got to add a rinse aide. Really. I think there is a fortune to be made by the company that is willing to make simple reliable appliances that work.

[@Donsappliances]

Although it is an extra step, Rinse Aid should last a month or two. You could also use white vinegar as an alternative; it will help the water spread and run off of dishes.

[@EfieldHfield_377]

@@Donsappliances Thanks so much. I will try the vinegar route first - I would prefer not to drink rain-X. When you say last a month, do you mean a bottle of rinse aide will last a month or the amount you add to the rinse aid loading container will last a month.

[@Donsappliances]

@@EfieldHfield_377 The amount of rinse aid you put into the rinse aid slot will last a month! A full bottle should last you a year or more.

[@EarlBalentine]

My water heater is set at 120 degrees. Wife runs sink water until its hot and then turns on the DW so it will get get instant hot water. Wife uses rinse aide too and the dishes always come out wet. probably time to replace with a different brand. With my 50 years using DW I never had this problem. DW was new and has never dried the dishes since day one.

Literally just had this thing installed 2 months ago now and it's wet as heck inside. I turned up the temp and still

New model dishwashers are terrible!

[@monaonassis6346]

I hate these new effing dishwashers and washers and dryers. I have the LG thin Q dishwasher with the “European drying” system. I wish I had never bought it. Nothing EVER comes out dry and I don’t want to add extra chemicals like the “rinse aid” that coats your dishes and is highly toxic. The earlier dishwashers did the damn job - they cleaned and dried them. So sick of this environmental green crap that’s crammed down everyone’s throats with shitty products that replace products that actually worked.

[@bigdurks]

Rinse aid isn’t toxic. If it were, people wouldn’t recommend it this much.

[@Alady1973]

My old dishwasher didn’t have coils and had stainless lining. Dishes were always completely dry. This dishwasher, same brand as the old one leaves plastic wet and the tops of mugs pooling water. I used a rinse aide in both dishwashers.

[@soulprovider915]

Yes! I love having a coding of chemicals all over my glasses that I could readily drink from! I can’t believe what I’m hearing from this video!

[@KWwest]

UPDATE SEE BELOW: Thanks for the explanation - doesn't advise if the DW is dry, just said no spots on the dishes. More importantly, I DO NOT want to apply a chemical to dry my dishes for any reason - more chemicals in bodies and the environment. When did dishwasher become such troublesome JUNK. What a hassle to return w/in the window of time, select another better (if even available) DW, prepare a whole day for delivery & protect the flooring to the kitchen from the delivery truck, dedicate another 1/2 day for the delivery & installation and NOT know if the new unit will be any better. Geeze - exhausted and annoyed already. Is there any manufacturer that makes a heated element for a real dry cycle?? UPDATE: HD picked up the crappy dishwasher & left the p-trap drain that connects to the DW un-capped & also the hot water connection at the angle stop. Tried to turn on the hot water at the faucet & nothing. Ran to get them in the truck, they came back & said the installer should have provided that part (really?!?!) & they don’t have any parts on the truck- suggested I go to HD & get the part. (Not open on New Year’s Day of course)…they left & I looked under the sink to see what I needed & found it flooded. I turned on faucet to see where it leaks and a 10’ blast shot out across the room (thankfully not my face). Cold water worked - until water began flowing out of the open PTRAP BIGTIME. So now defective DW has destroyed my sink base cabinet, I’m without a working kitchen sink, have to deal with a delivery insurance claim and see black mold already. If the manufacturers would just make a working dishwasher, NONE of this would have happened. Plus I need to find another dw and start all over again. Ffs. 🤦‍♀️ good times. NOT.

[@verumdoctrina4215]

This is the biggest bullcrap ever. "Here buy this extra product because your brand new dishwasher needs it to keep your dishes dry" ..... No.

[@Donsappliances]

Thanks for the feedback. Although you might consider rinse aid an "extra product," it's extremely important to use if you prefer dry dishes. If there are any additional questions, please let us know!

[@PinkGrammarGirl]

It's like a manufacturer scam. EPA made is efficient, which mean no heat = no drying. That we have to find a video on how to get dry dishes is crap. I've tried all the tips; nothing.

[@johnmartin7158]

⁠@@Donsappliances I use rinse aid in my new 2024 AEG. But my AEG 2000 dollar dishwasher won’t dry them properly. Absolutely useless it is Don. My old 23 year old Whirlpool at least worked well and dried the dishes.

Hi, how do you use a rinse aid when your dishwasher does not have a rinse dispenser and you use liquid detergent instead of the 3-in-1 pods because of the higher cost?

[@EarlBalentine]

You can buy a rinse aide basket and place it in the top tack far back right corner.

@@Donsappliances Technology is crap if it makes the product take longer to do it’s job, not actually do it’s job properly (drying the damn dishes) and having to buy more products like extra rinse aids to make it work. If someone buys a $2500 Thermador dishwasher and my 20 year GE that costs $300 works better…. Then there is a problem That’s like buying a SubZero fridge and your milk spoils in two days because the temperature in the fridge doesn’t get cold enough unless you go down to the store and put ice in it every day.

[@SkyeeBlue3]

Hi thanks for the video I noticed the little rubber ring that goes around the plug where rinse aid goes has lost it's shape. Could this be causing dishes not to dry because there's not a tight seal?

[@Donsappliances]

Yes, this can cause the dishwasher to not take the rinse aid and distribute it throughout.

[@julianafinamore7187]

[@PHOTOCONVENTION]

Is it critical to put a soap pod in the dispenser? I just throw the pods in the dishwasher loosely and my dishes look fine.

[@Donsappliances]

It's best to put them in the dispenser so they don't dissolve before the wash cycle begins. Unless your dishwasher manual says otherwise!

[@ineedhoez]

Well. I didn't believe it but it worked. Apparently, it has something to do with the sensors not reading properly or something. My dishwasher is brand new and was soggy AF. I watched this video. I read the comments saying it was BS. I found another video saying the same thing. I filled up the jet dry tray. I ran a cycle. My dishes are dry now.

What about plastics, they’re always wet!!

[@Donsappliances]

Plastics won't retain heat as well as ceramic or glass, so unfortunately they just won't ever get as dry. You could try different dry cycles and see if there is one that might dry the plastic better! Hopefully this helps!

[@livingwordbibleministries8814]

My dishwasher isn't broken, just lacks motivation. It makes a lot of noise, but a night out seems to make the squeaking stop. Although dishwashers have many cycles, the sales rep never warned me about the menstrual cycle. I really need to reach out to the manufacturer about that one. It has a lot of miles on it. But in the end, it's been extremely dependable. I thought about trading it in on a newer model. But I've become accustomed to all the little dings and imperfections. Also it doesn't take much to get it going. I've heard those newer models are high maintenance, demanding and very sensitive. I think I'll keep what I have, even if it does spit and sputter all over the place.

This is BS! Most people use pods now and they have built in rinseaid. This is an energy efficient design BS.
