The Front Control Dishwasher with Flexible EasyRack™ Plus System, Model # LDS5540ST uses a Hybrid Drying System which effectively dries dishes without the use of a heating element that would increase energy consumption. The Hybrid Drying System relies on the heat that is retained by the dishes and the tub during the wash and rinse cycles to turn the moisture in the tub into humidity. Warm, moist air in the dishwasher is then pulled into a condensing duct in the door by a fan. The air then cools, which causes the humidity to condense. Room temperature air is also drawn into the duct to help the air cool down faster. When this moisture condenses into a liquid, it is drained out. Rinse aid is required to enhance the drying performance. If no rinse aid is used, water may remain on the dishes and the tub. Your inlet water temperature should be a minimum of 120°F (49°C) so you may need to check that your water heater is set appropriately...^IFV
