Hi Jimpem, It’s definitely not ideal when the cycle finishes and you’re left waiting even longer for everything to dry. Let us help you. I have shared the model's user manual link below. Please turn to page 49 for steps to take to help with your drying experience with the dishwasher. Turn to page 28 for details related to the Sanitize option, which is recommended for better drying performance. https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202407/20240725150331825/North_America_DW5000C_WEB_DW0003_English_240710.pdf Should you need more assistance, please feel free to get back to us via the following options: 1.
