Why Are Dishes Still Wet in My Viking Dishwasher?
Short answer
Most of the time nothing has failed. Rinse aid, how the load is stacked and which cycle was chosen account for most wet dishes. Viking Repair HQ Los Angeles will go through those with you on (213) 320-7007 before anyone books a visit.
The three settings to look at first
Start with the rinse-aid reservoir next to the detergent cup. Empty, and water clings to everything instead of sheeting off; plastics stay soaked and glasses dry spotted. Next, look at what the cycle list offers — a quick or eco programme gives the load far less heat and far less time than a normal one, and the dishes come out accordingly. Then look at the stacking. Cups and bowls sitting flat hold a pool that tips out when you unload, and a tall item leaning across the upper arm blocks the spray that would have rinsed and heated the things behind it.
When it is a fault rather than a habit
There is a real fault behind wet dishes when the pattern changes without you changing anything: the same cycle, the same load and the same rinse aid, and suddenly everything comes out cold and streaming. That points at the heat going into the wash rather than at the drying, and it is measured rather than guessed — the element or the sensor that governs water temperature is tested with the machine running. Plastics, for the record, dry badly on almost every dishwasher ever built and are not evidence of anything. Describe the change to Viking Repair HQ Los Angeles and the $89 call settles which it is.
