The heater on this unit only comes on twice, once in the wash cycle, and again in the Sanitary rinse. During the drying cycle all that happens is a vent opens and a fan comes on. The fan removes the hot moist air from the unit and the dishes dry off. If your water is not hot enough, this is why your dishes are still wet. Rinse aid also helps to sheen off the excess water as well.

You need to use rinse aid.  All manufacturers require that rinse aid be used to help dry dishes.  Jet Dry is one to try.

White residue on dishes

This has become a huge problem and a big misunderstanding on what the white dried residue is on your dishes.....IS it hard water probably not . Due you use liquid or powder soap and fill both soap compartments !!!!ow<br /> <br /> well here is a solution first stop using to much soap!!! <br /> most people only need no more than a tablespoon of soap.... powder or liquid..total... dont forget that powder soap can go bad in those card board boxes in a humid enviorment,,,( under the sink) remove and discard any soap that's clumpy and pour rest in a tupperware dish...<br /> <br /> so here is how to remove white residue off dishes...<br /> <br /> Fill your kitchen sink with hot water no soap and 1 cup of vinegar let dishes soak dont let water cool scour dishes in sink no soap rinse them and air dry all dishes .... some dishes may be ruined due to how long white residue had been on them called etching..... now we need to clean the dishwasher start dishwashere like normal no soap and let run for few seconds when dishwasher starts to fill open door and pour in atleast 2 cups of vinegar close door and let dishwasher run cycle repeat necessary till residue is of wash arms racks door and cabinet walls ... these steps need to be repeated in most cases a few times ...

Dishwasher not drying dishes

Depending on hardness of your water you will only need 1 teaspoon of soap in dispenser 1 teaspoon for prewash. Your water temp needs to be 140 or more. Run the hot water at the sink till its hot before starting wash. Dont forget to use jet dry....

DOESNT DRAIN RINSE CYCLE

Some dishwashers will now wait before draining final rinse water. This helps the dishes dry. Instead of draining the hot water it will save it for a short time to dry dishes. Wait 20 minutes it should drain after that.

Dishwasher doesnt spray the dishes and it no longer drains

It sounds like your jet sprays are clogged. Try a couple of things. Lets start by cleaning the unit with beach and white vinegar. Use a cup of each with not dishes inside. Do not heat dry, ever. Next use a liquid jet cleaner. You should notice a difference doing this. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Kenmore Quiet Guard

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

Doesnt dry dishes, top rack not clean, has been serviced 3 times

If you have checked everything that was mentioned (and none of them are the issue) then either the heater inside the unit is not coming on during the wash and rinse cycles and/or the fan motor inside the door is not coming on during the dry cycle. A technician can easily check this out with the correct tools and by putting the unit into test mode.

As for the top rack dishes being dirty and there being soap left in the dispenser, this sounds like wash motor is either weak or the vario motor is not switching between the upper and lower spray nozzles. The sump assembly should be replaced for this issue.
