How does it dry if not by heat? null

Condensation drying does not utilize a heating element at the bottom of a dishwasher. Instead, it involves a number of dishwashing elements that result in an energy efficient, high-quality drying process: The final rinse uses water that has been heated to a very high temperature. This makes the dishware very hot when the rinse cycle ends. The stainless steel tub of the dishwasher cools faster than the dishware because stainless steel typically cools faster than dishware materials (such as glass and porcelain). Moist air is released from the hot dishware when this moist air comes into contact with the cooler stainless steel tub and turns into water droplets (condensation). These water droplets trickle down to the bottom of the dishwasher and are drained in the next wash. Dishware and cups become dry during this condensation process. Plastics tend to have more difficulty drying because plastic does not heat up to a high temperature during the final rinse like glass/porcelain does. This specific model now has Auto Release The door opens automatically to release steam and let air in. When the door opens, the fan is activated generating an air curtain to protect the countertop. Test results show big improvement in drying (best in class!) Up to 35% improvement in drying and will dry plastics!

It does not. Totally not satisfied. I end up drying dishes. I turn on at night and many are still wet in morning.

The door pops part way open at the end of the cycle to air dry the dishes.

The washer uses hot water as the source, and at the end of the cycle the door opens slightly to help the dishes dry

The door pops open a little at the end of the cycle. I have not noticed any spotting or anything. Also, it plays a little song to let you know it is finished.
