We are disappointed in this purchase. The dishwasher doesn't even have a dry cycle. That would be like purchasing a cell phone that you could only talk into but couldn't hear anything.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good day,
We're so sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your dishwasher. We can understand your frustration and would like to provide some clarity. This dishwasher uses condensate dry. Condensate Dry is an energy-efficient drying system on some dishwashers.
With this drying system design, condensation will form on cooler surfaces in a warm humid environment. At the end of a cycle, while the dish load is still hot, the stainless steel tub walls are already cooling down and pulling condensation to form on the tub walls instead of the dishes. This provides natural air drying of the dish load. The use of a rinse agent ensures spot and film protection for dishes and assists the drying process.
We hope this information was able to help. All the best! Mike@GEA
Our last GE dishwasher had the warm drying feature so we weren't left with wet dishes after a cycle but this one does not. Definitely a disappointing aspect of it.
Disappointed this dishwasher doesn’t have a drying cycle. I have to open the door for the dishes to dry. If I open the door after an hour the inside of the dishwasher is wet even with a drying agent.
Cheaply made and does not have a drying cycle. Who would think we should have looked for that normal feature. Silverware basket will no reseat properly. Absolutely will never recommend. We were replacing a GE with this very similar GE so there was no reason not to expect a good product. Oh brother, were we wrong. The old one broke so it had to be replaced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello- We appreciate you taking the time to share your review on your new dishwasher. We can understand your frustration when a new appliance doesn't meet your expectations. We are happy to help!
You're right, this model dishwasher doesn't have your typical dry cycle, however it does have a heating element. It’s integrated into the wash pump assembly. The heating element is a part of the wash pump assembly. This is why it is not listed as a separate part on the parts list.
The entering water should be at least 120°F (49°C) and not more than 150°F (66°C) for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. You can check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. If you turn the hot water faucet on in your kitchen before turning your dishwasher on, this will allow the first fill to be hot. We also recommend having rinse agent in the dispenser. If you have any questions in the future, please let us know. We are here to help! Joyce@GEA
