why does my ninth-series DD60 DishDrawer fan run after washing?
on the covered DD60 ninth-series contemporary DishDrawers, a smooth fan sound after washing can be normal drying. it can also be heard when the drawer is closed again.
model scope: DD60 ninth-series contemporary models covered by the care guide.
compare the behaviour with the exact model's drying description and note when the sound begins and ends. this advice does not set a universal fan run time or apply the ninth-series behaviour to every DishDrawer generation.
the linked normal-operation guide explains this sound alongside the distinction between a little water beneath the filter and excess water across the tub. those observations help describe what happened; they do not diagnose a failed fan or drain pump.
grinding, overheating, leakage or a wash cycle that will not finish must not be dismissed as normal drying. stop using the drawer and arrange service for those signs. do not open panels or repeatedly restart a faulty cycle to listen more closely.
possible causes
- the timed drying fan is still running
- operation that does not match the model's drying instructions
