Record the selected cycle, completion evidence and which materials stayed wet. An unfinished wash cannot be used as a drying comparison.

When to stop
- Stop using the dishwasher for smoke, a burning smell, damaged wiring, an active leak or water near electrical equipment. Isolate power and water only from a safe, dry, accessible location; otherwise keep clear and request qualified help.
- Do not remove the pump cover, reach into the pump, open electrical panels, bypass the door interlock or move the installed dishwasher. Refer plumbing connections, installation and repairs to qualified service.
- Stop if a part is cracked, jammed, sharp, insecure or different from the matching manual. Do not force a fitting or touch hot water. Never mix cleaning products.
Every check and possible next step
Start at “Was the wash allowed to finish before unloading?”. Choose only what you observed. An unobserved condition is its own answer.
Was the wash allowed to finish before unloading?
Was the wash allowed to finish before unloading?
Look for cycle-end evidence; the manual uses 0:00. An unknown or interrupted cycle is not evidence of failed drying.
Steps for this check: 1.
- Yes, the cycle finished
Continue to Is liquid rinse aid available in the dispenser?. - No, it was opened or stopped early
Observation and next step recorded — The observed cycle interruption or material/shape explains why this is not yet evidence of a drying fault. Correct the loading or let a suitable cycle finish before comparing. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
Observation still needed — This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.

Is liquid rinse aid available in the dispenser?
Is liquid rinse aid available in the dispenser?
Use the dedicated refill task if low; do not add detergent here.
Steps for this check: 2.
- The reservoir is supplied
Continue to Is water limited to plastics or upward-facing recesses?. - The reservoir is low or empty
Continue to Was rinse aid refilled with spills wiped and the lid latched?. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
Observation still needed — This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.

Was rinse aid refilled with spills wiped and the lid latched?
Was rinse aid refilled with spills wiped and the lid latched?
Finish the linked refill task before making a comparison wash.
Steps for this check: 2.
- Rinse aid is ready for the wash
Continue to Is water limited to plastics or upward-facing recesses?. - The lid will not close or the wrong product was added
Pause and request qualified help — The observed condition needs qualified help. Keep the appliance out of use when a safety concern remains. Share the exact model, displayed message and your before/after observations; do not open panels, bypass a lock or access the pump. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
Observation still needed — This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.

Is water limited to plastics or upward-facing recesses?
Is water limited to plastics or upward-facing recesses?
Plastic dries differently; pooled water in a base or rim is a loading clue.
Steps for this check: 3.
- No, similar china or glass is also wet
Continue to How did the completed comparison wash dry?. - Yes, only plastics or recesses hold water
Observation and next step recorded — The observed cycle interruption or material/shape explains why this is not yet evidence of a drying fault. Correct the loading or let a suitable cycle finish before comparing. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
Observation still needed — This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.

How did the completed comparison wash dry?
How did the completed comparison wash dry?
Compare the same types of items after correct loading and bottom-first unloading.
- China and glass are drier; remaining water is explained by item shape or plastic
Observed result recorded — You recorded the drying result for comparable items after a complete cycle. This is your observation, not independent confirmation of the appliance condition. - Comparable china or glass remains wet after the full cycle
Pause and request qualified help — The observed condition needs qualified help. Keep the appliance out of use when a safety concern remains. Share the exact model, displayed message and your before/after observations; do not open panels, bypass a lock or access the pump. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
Observation still needed — This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.
