BCSCH DISHWASER MODEL SHE6APO6UC/06 NOT DRYING DISHES

There should be an on/off switch for drying the dishes - should be on. If it is and still does not work the heat element is not working or open.

The model you specified is unknown to me and I'll try to explain how drying works generally in the dishwasher.
Dishes absorbs heat and cools more slowly than a very thin wall of stainless steel.
The consequence is that water evaporates and in accordance with the Mollier diagram begins to condense on the walls of the stainless steel whose temperature is lower due to faster cooling of the dishes.
Now drying can be divided into two categories. Active and passive.
Passive way of drying the natural circulation of moist air and condensation in the condenser, which is usually located on the left or right side of the dishwasher.
Active way of drying works on the principle of forced circulation humid air with fun helping quickly condenses and thus speeds up the drying of dishes.
In passive mode the drying process can speed up the partial opening of the door.

Make sure you have the heated dry setting selected, use rinse aid at all times, and make sure the unit is getting hot. If it is not, or there is no steam generated when you open the unit after cycle - have a professional diagnose the heating element.

It might be helpful if you provide the model number.

For proper drying of dishes you need to make sure the Rinse aid is set at the right level plus the drying fan is working.
Some dishwashers also use the hot air by running the heater. If the heater is not working then drying can be affected.

sounds as though the element is bad, verify this with a Volt/ohm meter

on many models, the timer will not move if the water is not up to temp. be sure that you run hot water in the sink until it gets hot before you start the dishwasher.
are your dishes coming out clean and hot? if not, your heating element may be faulty. this is used for drying, but also to maintain water temp. during the cycle. a bad heating element will certainly make the cycle take forever, if it ever gets done. good luck

I have same model and it stops with error with 3minutes of cycle left and dishes not washed properly.

Without knowing the make and model of your dishwasher, the most probable causes of no drying is:
1.) RinseAid being empty or not dispensing (as in you never seem to have to refill the dispenser.)
2.) The Heating element has failed. But if it has failed, you would also have foggy, film on your glassware.
3.) The timer is failing to turn on the heating element during the (at least) the heating element during drying cycle.
Good Luck!

Heater is used to both heat water during clean cycle and dry dishes after wash cycle. Most washers have either a separate switch for Heat or Dry for optional use, or some have the water heat and dish dry options built into cycle set options.

You can save money by turning off the Dish Dry option since it is a very in-efficient way to dry dishes. Instead, open the wishwasher door after washing cycle completes, just enough so fresh air can get into, and humid air can escape, dishwasher.

Water Heat option is only needed for dried food on dishes, and is never needed if dishes are either rised off before putting them in the dishwasher, or rinsed off inside the dishwaser with a Rinse cycle, if they are to stand for a time waiting for a full dishwasher for wash.

Hi Dolly, If this is the only problem you have with your dishwaser, no need to move to a new one !!!! You will face the same phenomena with the new machine, so why to waste money. Good luck with your children's dishes cleaning course.
