I rarely use the heated dry on my dishwasher. I usually start the dishes in the evening and then open the dishwasher after the rinse cycle is complete and let them air dry overnight. You can also barely crack the door to the dishwasher and the built up steam will dry your dishes.

My mom always did this and I never asked why, now i do it out of instinct. I also started washing everything on the short wash cycle and haven’t noticed a difference. If there is a dish or two that is too grimy to go in the washer, instead of wasting water to rinse, i set it in the bottom of the sink and when i wash my hands i let the soapy water run over the dishes, then after a few hours i will put the newly ‘rinsed’ dishes in the washer.
