HI Mak. We regret to read that your recently purchased LG - 24" Top Control Smart Wi-Fi Dishwasher - QuadWash - TrueSteam - Steel Tub with Light - Stainless steel, Model # LDT7808ST is not drying and apologize for any inconvenience. This dishwasher uses a Hybrid Drying System which does not use a heating element during the drying process. ; instead, it 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. Your water supply temperature should be a minimum of 120°F (49°C) and Rinse aid is strongly recommended to enhance the drying performance of the dishwasher because it plays an integral role in the drying process. 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. Drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat that remains in the tub after the heated rinse is performed. If your 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. 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. 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
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.These newer dishwashers do not dry as well as the older energy sucking goblins of year’s past. I think its mainly due to the a lack of electric coils of modern dishwashers in order to maintain their energy efficient status. These days, they mainly use a fan to move hot air around. Be sure to add a rinsing agent, it helps alot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We bought this dishwasher a month ago, and we are very happy with it. After the first wash, the dishes were not dry, so we read the instructions, and learned that we need to add Jet Dry Finish, aside from the dishwasher capsules. Since then, the dishes are dry, except the plastic containers. I tried a short wash (34minutes) adding "night dry" to the setting. It did also dried the dishes. I use the delay start for overnight, so it's done when I wake up. This way, the dishes don't stay in the dishwasher long after they are clean. This machine is much more sophisticated than our old LG, but if you learn how to use it, it's wonderful. I hope this help.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If it's not drying, make sure to use the extra dry cycle and night dry cycle. Also using a rinse agent would help.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It sure would have been nice if the store would have explained that while purchasing the dishwasher.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Use extra dry opt
