Default Kenmore Dishwasher - heats,but won't dry dishes
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 587.14132102
Age: 1 - 4 years

We bought this house about two years ago and the seller said that the dishwasher was less than a year old. Since day one the dishwasher never dries the dishes. The element does heat up, but I am not sure if it heats up enough to dry the dishes. Thanks for the help!!

Check the wax motor that open the vent to allow the stem from the hot water out of the tub.

If the stem is not released the dishes will not dry.

Here is a link to the part of your dishwasher model 587.14132102.
