> If they’re fully dry by morning, that implies the machine is using a heating element for the dry cycle. Modern dishwashers use better insulation coupled with the residual heat from washing to do a lot of the drying. Mine (LG) doesn't have a heating element for the air, just for the water. Known as "condensation drying". https://www.bosch-home.com/us/experience-bosch/tips-and-tricks/all-articles/tips-to-maximize-drying https://www.bosch-home.com/us/experience-bosch/tips-and-tric... > All Bosch dishwashers use a condensation drying process. Instead of utilizing a heating element at the bottom of a dishwasher, condensation drying involves a number of dishwashing elements that work together to efficiently dry your dishes. Condensation drying is more hygenic and energy efficient than drying with a heating element. Additionally, since Bosch dishwashers do not use a heating element, your plastics are safe in the lower rack. As a bonus, it doesn't vent steam into my kitchen.
