Question
How does it dry if there is no heating element
I notice when looking at the dishwasher there is no heating element. How do the dishes dry then and how does it compare to dishwashers that do have a heating element?
Also are there any video that show how the drying works?

The drying is accomplished through the heat built up during wash and rinse. The wash and rinse water are heated continuously through the cycles. Cycles take a little while longer and there is usually a bit of water remaining on tops of glasses, etc. Need to make sure cups and the like are placed in racks upside down to avoid having a full container of water.

It uses the HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM - This system effectively dries dishes without the use of a heating element that would increase energy consumption.
The Rinse Aid will shorten the drying-time. So we do recommend to always use rinse aid.
The Rinse Aid indicator light will illuminate if the level of rinse aid in the dishwasher is low. Add rinse aid if the level is low to maintain the effectiveness of the dry cycle.
It also has an EXTRA DRY option:
Select the EXTRA DRY option for better drying performance. This option adds 60 minutes of extra drying time to the cycle.
Thank you for your question!

Question
Will this dishwasher perform equally well with a cold water feed?
I have ordered an LG Dishwasher LDF7551ST. My old dishwasher has a cold feed to the machine. I note that this LG installation guide recommends a hot water feed. I do not want the expense of installing a hot water feed, which in any event is likely to be ineffective since it is in a condo complex with shared hot water and it takes a long time for the hot water to "come through". If I connect the machine using the current cold water feed, will the dishwasher heat the cold water effectively and sufficiently - in other words, will the dishwasher still work effectively with a cold water feed?

Water supply temperature should be a minimum of 120°F (49°C) for better washing and reasonable cycle time.
For this reason, use the hot water supply only.

We appreciate your interest in the operations and features of this dishwasher rack. The tines on the lower rack appear to be designed to snap into place. There is no method of supporting these times, other than the proper use of the product.

no...I don't know why you would want that anyway. In my humble opinion they are a pain in the posterior(sp).

The PF indicates that there was a power failure. This function protects the dishwasher in the event that the power goes out or the power to the unit is disrupted. When power is returned and a button is pushed, this will display for 10 seconds and then go away. The unit does not appear to automatically restart where it ended.
