The dishwasher does not dry the dishes

Dishwashers are firmly entrenched even in compact kitchens of those who have a relatively average income. And this is not in vain, because with such a convenient technique, the daily routine process of washing dishes became a mere trifle. Each dishwasher has a drying function. With its help, the dishes become either completely dry, or remain only a little damp. This depends on what type of drying is used in the device. But if you get absolutely wet plates and pans after completing the work of the "helper", there is quite a logical bewilderment - why the dishwasher does not dry the dishes and what to do with it now. The answer to this question and ways to solve the problem for different types of systems you will find in this article.

Condensation drying

This option is the easiest. A primitive technology is used:

1. When very hot water is used during washing and rinsing, steam is produced.
2. Then it turns on the walls of the unit, turns into condensate and flows down to a special tray.

Owners of dishwashers with this type of drying are recommended to plan the process for the night, since it is very long. But in the morning you can find completely clean kits.

Important! A huge plus of this technology is in saving electric energy, because it is not spent on drying dishes.

Turbine dryer

This option is considered the fastest and most effective:

1. When the dishes are already clean, special heat fans are activated.
2. The dishes are blown by a stream of warm air, which leads to rapid evaporation of moisture.

Important! The main advantage is the speed of the process. But at the same time a considerable amount of electric energy is wasted. This is a board due to high power consumption, but it can be considered a payment for comfort.

Intensive drying

In this modern technology, the quality of condensation and turbo drying has been combined. The principle of its operation is as follows:

1. Air intake from the outside inside the machine through a special hole.
2. The hole is located in the place on the housing where the pressure difference is the maximum.
3. So drying is due to the temperature difference. After the air enters, the air circulates, making the dishes dry and the moisture turns into condensate.

Should I sound an alarm?

The dishwasher does not dry the dishes, there are a few drops of water on it, but it is clean at the same time - do not worry. Most often in such devices use condensation drying, not the most ideal. Hot water, which is used for rinsing, then settles in the form of condensate on the walls of the unit.

Important! Metal dishes have the same temperature as the walls, so it can also form condensation. This needs to be understood and not to panic ahead of time. Not critical and the formation of drops on dishes made of ceramic or glass.

Common faults

Of course, if the dishes remained not only wet, but also dirty - the dishwasher not only does not dry the dishes, it could even break. Consider what major malfunctions can be.

Breakage of electric heater and temperature sensor

If such elements are broken, they need only be changed.

Important! Those who want to independently determine the failure of the TEN, you need to be able to use a multimeter.

The most common place for installing a flow-through heating element is the bottom of the dishwasher. To check it:

1. The unit turns over and removes the bottom part.
2. After the detection of the heating element, it is necessary to check its operation, and if there are problems, replace it with the original spare part.

If the temperature sensor is in working order, it can be used to control the operation of the heating element. If the dishwasher does not dry the dishes, the reason may be precisely in the failure of this part.

Important! In this case, the heater does not receive a command and does not turn on, sometimes it is possible to stop the process during the washing phase.

The location of the temperature sensor is the chamber into which water is collected. A water purity sensor is often located next to it. For replacement, it is necessary: ​​

1. Remove the wires.
2. Remove the faulty sensor.
3. Install new spare part.
4. Assemble the machine and run the test.

Fan failure and relay

The relay, which is located on the control board, often breaks down. Usually it is placed in the door, to disassemble which you just need to unscrew a few bolts.

Important! To replace the relay you need to be able to use a soldering iron. If such skills are not available, it is better to contact specialists.

If the fan suddenly breaks, it also changes, it can not be repaired. Determine its idle state is quite simple: when working, no characteristic noise is heard.

Important! Most often, the location of the fan blowing hot air is the side wall, so to replace it, you will have to disassemble almost the whole unit.

Prevention

In order for the dishwasher to last as long as possible, several conditions must be fulfilled:

• The machine should be used for its intended purpose - do not use it to wash unusable dishes, for example, industrial products or thin plastic.
• You should definitely use special tablets or detergent for dishwashers.

Important! If you use the usual dishwashing detergent, foam is formed in a huge amount and the dishes are not rinsed.

• The use of special salt against scale is mandatory.
• The dishwasher does not load utensils in which there are large waste: pieces of bread, bones, etc.
• Switching on only according to the instructions, you can not use forced switching.
• The dishwasher must be connected to a separate outlet with a filter, which will help to avoid voltage fluctuations.

If correctly and attentively to the dishwasher, it becomes the daily assistant. Washing dishes will not take much time, in addition, water will be saved.
