A drying stage helps deal with moisture remaining after the programme. It is part of the model's care sequence, not necessarily a sign that the cooking cycle failed.
What the observation means
Cancelling it repeatedly can leave surfaces wet for longer than intended. Some models combine an automatic stage with owner wiping once cool; others use a different process. Follow the exact instructions for the cavity, reservoir and any collection area.
A useful next step
Allow the required sequence to finish when safe and empty or dry the specified accessible parts. If the drying programme cannot complete, note its message and whether water remains in an unusual place. Do not block the door or ventilation to speed it up.
