Fisher Paykel Dishwasher Not Drying Dishes
If you find that your Fisher Paykel Dishwasher is not effectively drying your dishes, several factors may contribute to this issue.
Here’s a guide to troubleshoot and address common causes:
Depleted Rinse-Aid Dosage:
Check the rinse-aid dispenser and ensure it’s adequately filled. Rinse aid aids in the drying process by reducing water droplets on dishes, facilitating better drying results.
Active Eco Mode:
Eco Mode is designed to conserve energy, but it might compromise drying efficiency. Disable Eco Mode if you prioritize thoroughly dried dishes over energy savings.
Wrong Program:
Ensure you’re selecting a program that includes a drying cycle. Some programs might omit drying for energy efficiency. Choose a program that suits your preferences and includes a drying phase.
Improper Dish Loading:
Proper loading of dishes is essential for effective drying. Avoid overcrowding and ensure that items are appropriately spaced to allow air circulation. Items placed too close together may trap moisture.
Dishes Unloaded Too Early or Too Late:
Wait for a reasonable amount of time after the cycle completion before unloading the dishes. Opening the dishwasher immediately may expose the dishes to residual heat and aid the drying process. Conversely, leaving the dishes in for an extended period may lead to excess moisture.
To address these issues and improve drying performance:
- Adjust Rinse-Aid Dosage: Increase the amount of rinse aid if necessary, following the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Disable Eco Mode: If drying is a priority, consider disabling Eco Mode in favor of a program that includes a drying cycle.
- Choose the Right Program: Ensure you’re selecting a program that meets your drying expectations.
- Properly Load Dishes: Arrange dishes to allow proper air circulation and prevent water from pooling.
- Unload Dishes at the Right Time: Wait a few hours after the cycle completes before unloading to allow residual heat to contribute to the drying process.
By implementing these troubleshooting steps, you can enhance the drying performance of your Fisher Paykel Dishwasher and enjoy consistently dry and sparkling dishes.
