If you want the dishes to be dried, this cycle does not go on automatically, you have to set your timer so you are right next to the washer when the wash cycle is done; you have exactly 3 seconds to open the door and leave it unlocked, only then will the drying function come on.  If you miss those 3 seconds, you cant just turn on the drying cycle, it would be too easy: you have to start the wash cycle all over again, even if you don’t need it.
