Dishes Not Drying - Portable Dishwasher

Possible Solutions

Was rinse aid used? 

Portable dishwashers are designed to be more energy-efficient and use less water and less energy.  

  • Rinse Aid can help you achieve the best drying performance. When using rinse aid, water "sheets" off the dishes and dishwasher interior. 
  • The Heat Dry can perform better with rinse aid. 
  • Rinse aid can improve drying and reduce water spots and filming.

Usage of rinse aid drys water drops from the dishwasher interior.

Does rinse aid need to be filled? 

  1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
  2. Turn the dispenser knob to "Open" or "Refill" and lift it out.
  3. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to "Full." Make sure not to overfill. 
  4. Clean up any spills with a damp cloth.
  5. Place the knob back into the opening and turn to the "Lock" position.
  6. Add more when the rinse aid indicator drops to the "Add" level.
