Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the GE Profile PDT755 dishwasher
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
My GE PDT755 leaves dishes wet even with Dry Boost.+
Make sure Dry Boost is actually selected (it is an option you enable, not always default) and the rinse-aid dispenser is filled and turned up — both drive drying. Unload the bottom rack first so top-rack drips do not fall on it, and do not overpack, which traps moisture. Plastics stay dampest even with Dry Boost, but it dries them far better than a heating-element-free machine.
