I don't use the heat dry function on my dishwasher, so I simply open the door a crack when the cycle is finished. The dishes air dry and I have no problems. |

This can be due to a number of things. If you don't use a heat dry cycle, is your rinse water hot enough? Does your unit have a fan that runs during the heated and non heated dry cycles, and if so, is it working and are the vent holes clear? What mix of dishes are you washing? Do you have lots of china (usually dries well) or lots of Tupperware style containers (will not hold heat to dry and will often trap water.) Do you have hard water, and if so, are you using the right amount of rinse agent? Do you have an owner's manual for the unit and does it say anything about this? |

After that, I'd wonder about lack of ventilation - is there a fan that's supposed to be running, that's not, or an air passage blcoked.... Even you heat up water, it still has to go somewhere, or it'll just be a chamber full of hot water or steam if hot enough. |
