Why does the inside of my brand new Whirlpool Dishwasher Model Number WDF130PAHWD remain very wet after washing the dishes? We have tried heat dry and Jet Dry. Still, housing remains wet.

I don't know. as it is new, i would call the seller or the manufaturer to see if this a normal condition or if a free service call is necessary.

You dont really need it, when the washer gets done Open the door for a minute and let the steam out and shut the door dishes will then dry. the reason there still wet is because of the steam from the Hot water

SOURCE: New dishwasher does not get dishes dry

Check your owner's guide; it may be defaulting to an 'economy' cycle to qualify for 'Energy Saver' status. You may have to choose a less-efficient cycle to enable the heating element for drying. We also open the door slightly to allow moisture to escape. On some units however, it's possible that the interlock will shut the element off if the door is at all open.

SOURCE: condensation in dishwasher

Make sure you aren't selecting the eco setting to conserve power. Running a dishwasher in that mode disables the heating element that dries the dishes at the end of a cycle. Here a few ideas you can try,... with an empty dishwasher.. start a cycle and make sure you do not use that ECO mode if it has that feature.. then stop the dishwasher when it near the end of the cycle and open the door ./.. check to see if the water has been drained and that the heater element is on and hot. If there is a high volume of water in the bottom of the dishwasher, make sure the darin filter screen is clean and not restricting water flow... If that is clean.. and you have a lot of water in the bottom pan, you could have a problem with the pump, a hose in line with the pump or your house drain system is restrictive.. Good luck... and Hope this helps you..

My dishwasher is left quite wet inside after washing dishes. Is this unusual, especially for an expensive Viking dishwasher that is brand new?

make sure you have selected the heated dry option. for the smell, add a 1/2 cup of white vinegar to wash cycle.

How do I turn up the heat to remove most condensation after washing?

As part of the current ecological, energy-saving, environmentalist-wacko movement, dishwasher makers have cut back on the heating used to dry dishes. In fact in many dishwasher designs, they have eliminated the drying vent altogether, and instead use a condensate or condensation-drying system. In this system, the last rinse cycle is heated to a high temperature, to heat the dishes. The water is then pumped out, and the dishwasher shuts down. The theory is that water will evaporate off the hot dishes, condense on the sides of the dishwasher, and run back down into the sump area. Bosch was one of the first diswashers to do this, and it works fairly well for them. Other manufacturers have tried this, with varying results. Here's what you can do to improve drying:
1. It is imperative that you use rinse-aid (Jet-Dry). This allows more water to flow off the dishes and what flows off does not need to evaporate.
2. If the dishwasher has the options, turn on high-temperature wash and sani-rinse. This gets the dishes hotter for better evaporation.
It is possible that the heater may not be working at all, and that will cause poor washing performance and no drying. This is very rare in dishwashers less than 3 years old. Most likely, poor drying in a new dishwasher is caused because you are not using rinse-aid.

I have a whirlpool Du810SWRQ0 dishwasher. Whwn we wash the dishes, it is ok until the drying process start. Then it has smoke from inside. So, we can not use heat dry anymore.

smoke from inside the dishwasher or the panel?

if smoke is from inside the dishwasher... firstly check that the element is clean? is there any evidence of melting on your lower basket shelf or cutlery basket? if so the thermostat or rhe heating element control may be faulty and will require repair. If its an old dishwasher, sometimes its just easier to bite the bullet and buy a new one.

Bosch dishwasher she45m

Just bought a Bosch dishwasher and we were told that they have no heating mechanism to dry the dishes, which is why they are more energy efficient.  You are supposed to leave the door closed for at least one hour after the cycle is complete.  The heat that has built up inside during the wash cycle will dry the dishes.  It is also recommended to always use JetDry. If you follow this advice, the dishes will come out fine.

Dishwasher not drying

Same problem here. I read the manual very carefully. "OptiDry", "ExtraDry", "EcoDry", "condensation drying" -- lots of fancy words to cover the simple fact -- they DO NOT DRY the dishes. There is no heating element. I wish they would just state this up-front. Air drying the dishes for 24 hours after each wash is not workable for most users...
