manual knob retrofit for Kenmore 17572201???

Question

Hi All,

I bought a Kenmore 17572201 dishwasher with an electronic control panel. The dishwasher works very nicely, except it hardly dries the dishes, except plates which it does dry. A trip to the operations manual confirms that plastics need to be hand dried. What a pain in the neck!

So, I have taken to stopping the timer at a precise point and then manually dripping the plastics and flatware before letting the cycle go through. And, if I miss the percise point, I wind up with a bunch of dry plates and everything else wet. Also, what a pain in the neck!

The electronic control panel does not offer an option to restart a dry cycle. You would have to go through another wash cycle to get to another dry cycle.

Does anyone know of a manual knob retrofit for this dish washer? At this point, I'd be willing to replace the entire front door, just to get a timer knob!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Many thanks,

there mostbe a airdry option ,we set ours on that, and when we notice it isdone running we open it and pull out the racks ,the wife always uses hotscrub option so everything is very hot and dries quick once the door isopen.but if you put a few items in that will let water pool in them theywont drie,and I'm sure the manuf. will claim they just arent loaded rite. Ihave already tried to dry them in the machine if I start the machine when Igo to bed at breakfast they are still  we gave up on that ,and nowjust open the door .

Don't ask for everything.then you should go on an all-plate diet.Or time-dried.I haven't tried to dry anything in 20 years.  My model has what theyslyly call an energy saver.  That is, no drying.  I leave that in theno-dry position, and I open the door a little, pull the top rack out alittle for it to rest on, and everything dries in a couple or a fewhours.  It works best if I open the door right after it finishes whenit is still hot.STill hot at breakfast GG? Wow.Might you not melt your plates?  When repairing it once, I ran itthrough the wash cycle over and over and the heater heated the samewater repeatedly, so hot it melted my favorite bowl a little.MeirmanIf emailing, please let me know whetheror not you are posting the same letter.Change domain to  if necessary.
