No heat dry just means the heating element in the sump is off. The blower will continue to run regardless.
Be thankful for that blower. They're extremely effective at drying dishes without spending $$ running the heating element and baking hard water deposits into glassware. Blowers are just about obsolete, if not completely obsolete, in dishwashers today. |

Hi Nick, I am sure homes vary and the air under the DW could have odors etc, but that would not be a usual or desirable situation in a well built and maintained home.
Note; the KDS-19 DW has no dry heater, it is always in energy saver mode for drying, the heating element in the sump is only ever used for water heating when water is in the sump.
