Indesit dishwasher not drying?

[Slubner]

Hi:
Bought an integrated Indesit DIF04 about 4 months ago, this to replace a leaky electrolux, and as it was on the Which best buy list, thought it would be OK..
HOWEVER (& isn't there always one?) although the machine performs reasonably in the actual washing department, it doesn't dry very well...
I have taken advice from the Indesit Customer Care, added the rinse aid & wound up the dispenser number - still moisture.
I'm aware that large surfaces (frying pan) & plastic boxes etc. add to the issue, but leaving them out doesn't help much - & anyway I bought the machine to do that for me!
Anyone come across this one? & if so did you have an answer?
Any help appreciated...
Thanks, --- Stan

does it heat up during the drying cycle, after pumping out?

on some d/wers you can turn that off to save energy.

Opening the door at the end of the cycle will let the steam out while they are hot and they wil quickly dry.

Plastic containers never dry well.

Hi John:
thanks for that - don't think I have the energy saving option you mention - there is nothing regarding that in the users manual.
Tried the door opening after the cycle - not much steam - wonder if it getting hot enough?
