ok in my house, we have a fairly new-ish dishwasher (maybe 2-3 years old). it gets used every day, so its seen its use in recent times. Its a kenmore, I cant tell you any more than that.

The problem is the dishes dont come out dry. They come out really clean and spot free but theyre not dry. Any suggestions?

Heating cycle turned off or element dead?

No info to add, but just noticed you picked up an E28.

Check to see if they're really hot after the wash cycle... if not I would suspect a bad heating element. Otherwise, look for anything that collects water, like plastic mugs with recessed bottoms, bowls turned right side up, etc. Even with everything working correctly, I still have some water left on my stuff at the end of a cycle... and that's with every dishwasher I've ever owned.

After the dishwasher shuts off, open it up. it should be hot inside. As others have written, it could be a heating element? By leaving the door open any moisture will escape & the dishes will dry in a short time. Somewhere on the door frame inside should be a model number. You could try a search in google with the problem and model number.

Sometimes you are better off just getting rid of an appliance and get a new one with a new warranty. We had a Kenmore dryer crap out a few years ago. We went looking for a new dryer. Our 35 year old Maytag washer was fine. Well the wife liked the new high efficiency Fisher & Pykell dryer but decided the high efficiency washer would match & look nice next to it. So for $1000 we got both. Spinning clothes at 1000 rpm does get a lot of water out of them & clothes require very little time in the dryer now.

If you don't want to hear whining and complaining from the wife just throw the $ucking thing out & replace it.

Same here. Our dishes seem are dryer, too, if we open up the dishwasher and put the dishes away right after the cycle. Any remaining steam escapes before condensing back onto the dishes.
