  If your glasses or dishes aren't drying completely in your Blakeslee Dishwasher, consider the following: * Insufficient rinse aid: Increase the amount of rinse aid by turning the screw on the dispenser. * Unsuitable rack: Use a rack that allows dishes to be tilted so water can run off. * Dishes left too long: Immediately after the washing cycle finishes, pull the rack out to allow air to dry the glasses and dishes more quickly. * Surface issues: It may be necessary to replace the type of dishes and glasses used, as their surface may be too rough or porous.
