Tom, I was surprised that my Maytag didn't vent out the front, as did every other dw I've ever owned. It dries without a fan, using residual heat in the tub. I almost always 'flash-dry' (open the door at the beginning of the dry cycle) to save time, but that does let a big cloud of steam out into the kitchen.

It is my understanding that the 'dry' portion of the cycle is miminal in cost. I think years ago, they stated that you could save $$$ by not using a heated dry. I also believe the savings were about $10-$12 per year based on average use. I always use a heated dry in my KA(fan assist dry) and GE(2800). |
