Questions that only have an answer for the GE dishwasher

What is Dry Boost on my GE Profile PDT785?+

Dry Boost is GE's active drying: a fan plus extra heat that dries dishes, including plastics, far better than passive condensation — GE's answer to wet-plastic complaints. Turn it on for loads with a lot of plastic, and keep the rinse-aid tank filled, which still helps water sheet off. It is why a GE with Dry Boost dries plastics better than a Bosch, which has no heating element.
