Once the washing cycle is done, the motor pumps out the dirty water and then continues rinsing dishes with clean water which is sometimes added with a special rinsing agent. After the rinsing cycle, the dishes are then heated and dried. A thermostat ensures that the temperature inside the dishwasher does not go beyond the ideal level. Call us for help at ️(800) 657-0765
