“I just got this DW finally installed but I noticed the first time we used it the dishes were quite wet after the final (drying) cycle stops and turns off. Is this normal and how long should I keep door shut after it turns off before removing the dishes?”

I also just bought this dishwasher. In the instructions it says this dishwasher requires Rinse Aide to dry dishes. My first couple washes without rinse aide were wet. After rinse aide they were much more dry. The rinse aide is put in next to were the soap goes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 24" LG Top Control Smart Wi-Fi Enabled Dishwasher with QuadWash™ and TrueSteam®, Model # LDP6809SS does not use a heating element during the drying process. It uses a Hybrid Drying System which 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 strongly recommended to enhance the drying performance of the dishwasher. If a rinse aid is not used, water may remain on the dishes and the tub. Rinse aid helps to ensure that the majority of the water has been sheeted off of the dishes at the end of the rinse and that the load is ready for the dry cycle. If a rinse aid is used and the performance still needs a boost, adjust the amount of rinse aid used. 2 is the default setting, but if necessary set the level to 3 so more rinse aid is used. This also means that if the dishwasher is far away from your home’s hot water heater, it may be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a wash cycle, to ensure that cool water is purged from the hot water lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of hot water from start to finish. Using the High Temp setting also aids in keeping the inner drum temperature and dishes hotter before drying begins. Water tends to bead rather than sheet off plastic and nonstick surfaces, making them more difficult to dry. If washing plastic items in a Normal cycle, select the Extra Dry or Night Dry option or both for better drying results. When the rinse aid is empty, the Extra Dry option is selected automatically. Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before opening the door. If the door is opened in the middle of the dry cycle, the heat that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work will escape. This will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle finishes...^IFV
