The same order every time, so nothing is opened and nothing is charged before you have seen the figure and said yes.

												Establish what “not drying” means here

													Plastics wet and glass dry is normal physics on any condensation dryer, and no part will change it. Everything wet, including glass, is a different conversation.

												Rinse aid and loading

													An empty rinse aid reservoir is the single commonest cause and it costs nothing to fix. So is a load that cups water in the upturned bases of mugs.

												Read what the machine says

													E2120 and E2130 are published conditions for the drying chamber — its heater and its fan. If either is showing, the diagnosis is already most of the way done.

## About Thermador crystal Dry and drying repair

### Drying on this make is not a heating element

Most dishwashers dry with heat and a fan. This platform uses a zeolite chamber: a mineral that gives off heat as it absorbs moisture, which is why the machine can dry well on a low-temperature cycle. It also means the part list is different — there is no element to replace, and the chamber, its heater and its fan are published as their own conditions, E2120 and E2130.

### Before any of that

Rinse aid, loading and expectations account for most “not drying” calls, and all three are free. Rinse aid is not optional on a condensation dryer; it changes how water leaves the surface, and an empty reservoir shows up as poor drying long before anything is wrong with the machine.

### What decides the figure

Whether it is the chamber assembly or the fan, and whether the machine has to come out from behind a cabinet panel to reach it.

Before you book

## Questions about thermador crystal Dry and drying repair

That is condensation drying working normally. Plastic holds almost no heat, so it does not stay warm enough to evaporate the film on it. It is not a failure and no repair changes it — a rinse aid top-up and a longer door-open at the end do more than a part.

A chamber of zeolite mineral that releases heat as it takes up moisture, used instead of a heating element. It dries better and uses less power, and it is one of the few things on this appliance that is genuinely this brand’s own — which is also why it is a more expensive assembly when it fails.

Usually, on a built-in machine that is fitted with a cabinet panel — the alternative is a replacement plus a joiner. We give you the figure and the honest picture of the machine’s age before you decide.
