Using Extended Dry on a Dishwasher (some models)
Using the Extended Dry Option on your Whirlpool Dishwasher ?
Some models have an option under the Heat Dry setting for "Extended Dry". Using this option will extend the Dry Time on certain cycles for 25 - 35 minutes. Use this option for better drying performance.
To use the Extended Dry Option, press the "Heat Dry" button twice (press once for Heat Dry, and twice for Extended Dry). Pressing this button a third time will turn off the Heat Dry and Extended Dry.
The cycles that are extended by 25 minutes:
- Sensor
- Heavy
- Normal
The cycle extended by 35 minutes:
- 1 Hour
Use of Rinse Aid is still suggested when using the Extended Dry Option.
See your Owner's Manual for more information on Extended Dry.
