We'd like to assist with your dishwasher being hard to close and the drying performance. Please make sure there are no dishes or utensils that are preventing the door from closing. If this is not the case, we recommend scheduling service with our Bodewell team by calling 1-833-426-3393 or online here: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service.
For the best drying performance, the water entering the dishwasher should be between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. We recommend you run the faucet closest to the dishwasher prior to starting the dishwasher to purge cold water from the hot water line.
Additionally, you'll want to check the rinse aid dispenser and fill it if it is empty. Rinse aids prevent spots on glasses and promotes drying by causing water to sheet off of dishware and glassware. Rinse aids such as Jet-Dry® can be purchased in your local grocery store.
