What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
Whether it is the chamber or the fan
Two published conditions, two very different parts. The fan is the cheaper half by a wide margin.
-
Whether it is drying at all
Glass wet as well as plastic points at the heat pump rather than the drying chamber, which is a different and larger job.
-
Access
Panel-ready machines come out from behind cabinetry before anything else happens.

About Thermador crystal Dry and drying repair cost
Why this one is more than an element
Most dishwashers dry with a heating element, which is a cheap part. This platform uses a chamber of zeolite mineral that gives off heat as it absorbs moisture — better drying, far less power, and a combined assembly when it fails. The manufacturer publishes conditions for both its heater and its fan, so the diagnosis is usually settled before a technician arrives; what the figure reflects is the part.
Before you spend anything
If the glass and steel come out dry and only plastic containers are wet, nothing is wrong. That is how condensation drying behaves and no repair changes it. Rinse aid, loading and leaving the door ajar at the end do more than any part on this page.

Questions about thermador crystal Dry and drying repair cost
Is it worth repairing?
On a built-in machine fitted with a cabinet panel, usually — the alternative involves a joiner as well as an appliance. We give you the figure and the machine's age and let you decide.
My plastics are wet. Is that this repair?
No, and we would rather tell you that before a visit than after. Wet plastics on dry glass is the design working.
Can I just use a hotter cycle instead?
It helps a little, and it costs more electricity than the drying system it is standing in for. Worth doing while you decide, not worth doing forever.
