How long does it take to run a load and do the dishes come out dry? null

Question

Matt · Accepted Answer

49 minutes for a light load, 75 minutes for a normal load, and 147 minutes for a heavy load. You can select heated dry if you would like, but I usually let the dishes set for about 15 to 20 minutes and everything is dry when I take them out.

Hello Cindy - It is normal for some dishwashers to run for up to two hours or more under certain conditions and on certain models. On select models, the timer display or dial will stop for long periods (up to 1/2 hour) during the wash and dry cycles while the heater is activated.
On models featuring Auto Hot Start, the cycle may be extended up to 20 minutes while the dishwasher heats the water. This time will vary depending on the temperature of the water coming in to the machine. Cycle time may also vary on models with clean sensors due to the sensor extending or decreasing cycle time and number of fills based on the soil level. Dishes should be dry at the end of the cycle. -TREY@GEA
