Ran dishes in brand new washer. Hit dry and extended dry. Once it noted dishes were done, opened the door and everything was still wet. Why won’t it dry properly? null

I thought I had the same problem when I got it and I was opening it too early. The red light means it is still drying. Gotta wait for the bluish white light.

Hello JustBought! Please make sure that you are using a Rinse Aid with your unit. Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results. However, if you are experiencing poor drying performance, you may want to try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to change rinse aid setting.
