When will it finish?
Use the dishwasher display for the current estimate. Soil sensing, incoming-water temperature, rinse aid and heated-dry choices can move the finish time.
Why the number can move
Dishwashers may pause while heating water, adjust to soil detected in the wash water, or add time for drying and sanitation.
Check the exact display. The full model number and selected options matter. Consult your current manual if your panel labels differ from this table.
Compare water and energy
Water use varies by program. See the water-use comparison for Normal cycles and how to compare annual energy use.
