The normal washing cycle runs approximately 2 hours in our dishwasher. It does clean well and dries plastic dishes in the short power dry setting. I have not used any other setting (it has 2 more for drying)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The cycle is over two hours long, but that includes the drying, which takes longer due to “energy requirements” I have been told. They do offer a shorter cycle, but it won’t dry as well. It will clean, but just not have the time to dry well. It does dry plastic much better than the Bosch I got replaced because it was just awful and didn’t dry anything on the second rack. This Maytag dries the plastic storage containers, except where the ridges catch and trap the water. But I take those out and toss them into the drying rack in my double sink for a short time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your dishwasher can average 2-3 hours per load, but uses nearly 40% less energy than older models. The average length of time for a normal cycle can be anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours. As your dishwasher may be equipped with sensor technology, the very first cycle may run longer to calibrate the sensor. Please keep in mind that selected options add time to the cycle. Also, cooler water temperatures cause the dishwasher to run longer while heating the water. You can try running the nearest hot water faucet until it gets hot just before starting the dishwasher. Also, be sure the water heater in the home is set to 120 degrees F for best performance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Cycle takes about 2 hours which is pretty standard now days. I usually use auto wash and sometimes that runs for a shorter time. Would recommend you use the auto cycle the first few times to see how it works for you.
