steps
- check drying and rinse aid
choose a cycle that includes drying and let it finish. check the rinse-aid level and refill only its marked dispenser, following your manual.
- let water drain off the load
angle cups and suitable containers so their bases do not hold water, and separate touching utensils. plastics can remain wetter than crockery even when drying is working.
