After the wash
The dishwasher will beep six times to indicate the end of the wash program.
You may notice the following noises at the end of the wash. These are all part of normal operation:
In double models, both drawers may be draining simultaneously.
The drying fan may continue to run after a wash program has finished for a set time or until the drawer is opened. The fan assists with drying and uses negligible amounts of energy.
For best drying results, we recommend unloading the dishes once they have cooled.
