Does this unit have a drying cycle? null

Hi - Thank you for reaching out to us. This model offers our Condensate Dry feature. With this drying system design, condensation will form on cooler surfaces in a warm humid environment. At the end of a cycle, while the dish load is still hot, the stainless steel tub walls are already cooling down and pulling condensation to form on the tub walls instead of the dishes. This provides natural air drying of the dish load. The use of a rinse agent ensures spot and film protection for dishes and assists the drying process. We hope you choose this lovely model for your home. All our best! Vikki@GEA

Yes, but it takes a long time to complete. Because it is so quiet & when door closes completion LED & timer are hidden, I have opened door early causing spots to form on glasses. Have figured out how to peak at LED to determine when finished. But hiding LEDs & timer is a really stupid idea.

Unlike other dishwashers I have had in the past, there is not a seperate drying cycle that you can choose to turn off or on. The end user has very little control over the wash cycles. There are 3 preset wash cycles you can choose from: Heavy, AutoSense and Light. The user can add Boost and Sanitize options to those cycles. Drying is part of those cycles but I believe it is of the evaporative type of drying as the combination washer dryers that are gaining popularity have and not a heating element, as the dishes are not hot when the cycle is done. Glass dishes and silverware generally come out dry but plastics are usaully still damp and need to be dried by hand. Or I just put them in my dish drainer to air dry before I put them away.
