Some short programmes have a different drying stage or no comparable drying treatment. Check the exact model's programme table before judging the result.
Understanding this situation
The material and loading still matter, especially plastics and items with water-holding recesses. A quick-cycle finish should not be compared automatically with the model's longest drying-enabled option.
A useful next step
Choose the supported programme that provides the result needed for suitable dishes. If a normal drying programme newly leaves the whole load wet, report that separate pattern. Do not assume every short-cycle droplet identifies a heater fault.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
