A:AnswerAs others have indicated, this unit does not have a heated dry. Strictly speaking, a heated dry requires an exposed heating element at the bottom of the dishwasher. You'll often see a ring near the spinners. Many Whirlpools and Frigidaires do have this option but it is not energy efficient. Many companies like Samsung and Bosch have taken to a condensation dry where the heat from the cycle is retained by the stainless steel interior, coupled with a venting system to remove excess moisture. This process can take longer to complete and you may find some moisture in "pools" such as upside down cups. This process is an even heating and also allows you to place plastic on the bottom where a conventional heating element might melt plastic. This allows for more flexible loading. Condensations dry does also require more time as it is essentially moving less energy per minute versus a heated dry. Depending on how quickly you would like your dishes done, a heated dry might not be the best option if you need them completely dry, very quickly. However, it will save you money and if you run your dishes over night should not present a problem.
A:AnswerYep, there isn't a quick wash or just a rinse cycle on mine and the normal setting is 2hrs 15minutes. I go ahead and run the heavy and sanitizer cycle at bedtime witch is about 3hrs. It's too late for me, I've already made the purchase but won't do it again
A:AnswerBuy the water line and power cord kit, I think it's about $30.00, it comes with a braided flexable water line and several fittings for different applications and teflon tape (they thought of it all) plus a good quality power cord and directions to hook it all up, very easy to understand. One of the very best things I like about the dishwasher is when you go to level it from front to rear there is an all screw in the front you turn that adjust the rear legs (its about time someone figured it out)..
A:AnswerHi Steve,
The height of the DW80J3020US Dishwasher can be adjusted from 33-7/8" to 35-7/8". The minimum height of the cutout is 34".
Thanks for choosing Samsung!

A:AnswerIt does not. To combat this, run your sink on hot for about 30 seconds to get the warm water to the washer. Then start the cycle. Hope that helps.
A:AnswerThanks for the question. It isn't unusual for their to be condensation on the surface of the Dishwasher tub, particularly if the door has been closed or if the air in the kitchen is very humid, since these conditions would not be conducive to natural evaporation. To help prevent odor-causing bacteria and mold, it's recommended to select Sanitize to maximize the effectiveness of Condensation Drying; wiping the interior dry and running an empty Sanitize cycle periodically. For more information, please refer to page 19 of the User Manual.

A:AnswerYes, except for the plastic strip, running across the front at the top where the buttons are. If you want to really match, go next model up. But ask yourself, "is it really worth the price difference?" But the part that is stainless steel is the real deal--just like the fridge.
A:Answeractually having put in a ton of dishwashers, there is no way to know how the unit hooks up in your situation... I have had units that plug in and units that wire direct... its the same with the plumbing... how is best buy supposed to know.... these units are packed at the factory.... go to lowes and home depot they don't have that included there either...
A:AnswerThanks for your interest in the DW80J3020US. Dry and Rinse are stages of each cycle, they aren't selectable cycles themselves. Cycles that can be programmed are Auto, Normal, Heavy and Quick+, and Sanitize is an option that can be added to all but the Quick+ cycle.
