I've never used heated dry in any dishwasher in my entire life. It's a massive waste of power for no gain, and will destroy things like plastic food containers and utensils. Your dishes dry just fine through normal air. The dirt cheap dishwasher my family had in the 90s even had a little flap to let out the steam and let in cool air after the cycle was done. I can't understand how people are so insistent this is even a mild annoyance, let alone something worth destroying our government over. I think some of you guys are buying "high end" appliances on this mistaken belief of "it's so much more expensive, surely something about it is better right?" and just get taken for a ride. Nothing in those super "smart" dishwashers has any value.
