Electrolux Dishwasher does not dry or dries poorly
Issue
- The dishwasher does not dry
- Poor drying results
Applies to
- Dishwasher
Solution
ECO and BIO cycles dry passively, and the 30-minute QUICK cycles do not have a drying sequence.
1.Activate the function AirDry to set the automatic opening of the door and to improve the drying performance (if your appliance is equipped with it).
2. Use the AUTO or Intensive cycle, and if the items do not feel hot at the end of the cycle, contact the Authorized Service Centre.
3. Do not hand wash items in detergent before washing them in the dishwasher.
This results in excess foam formation and reduces the effect of the Rinse Aid and leads to poor drying results.
4. Check if the dishwasher is not overloaded or loaded incorrectly.
Load the dishwasher according to the instructions in the user manual and allow any excess rinsing water to dry/evaporate after the wash cycle has finished before emptying the machine.
5. Add additional Rinse Aid for better drying results, as described in the user manual.

6. Check the dishwasher detergent you are using.
If possible, try a different detergent and/or Rinse Aid. For fast wash cycles, use powder or liquid detergents, as some multi-tablets do not dissolve completely during quick wash cycles.
7. Make sure all filters and spray arms are clean.
See the user manual for instructions on how to clean and maintain the appliance.
8. Enable Dry +, Dry Plus, XtraDry functions.
If your appliance has this function, drying results can be improved by enabling the function, but this will increase the cycle time and energy consumption.
Contact an Authorized Service Centre.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, we recommend contacting an Authorized Service Center.
