Question 23

What is a Condensation Drying System on the Thermador DWHD870WPR dishwasher?

Accepted Answer

Condensation Drying System is an energy-efficient drying method where the dishwasher heats dishes during the final rinse and then lets moisture condense on the cooler stainless-steel walls. The water droplets run down to the bottom and drain away—no heating element needed, which saves energy and protects plastics from overheating.

Question 24

What is the Zeolite Drying System on the Thermador DWHD870WPR dishwasher?

Accepted Answer

Zeolite Drying System uses natural zeolite minerals to improve drying performance. During the final rinse, the zeolite absorbs moisture and releases heat, which helps dry dishes more effectively—including plastics—without needing extra energy. The stored water is then released and expelled during the next wash cycle, regenerating the zeolite for ongoing use. It’s maintenance-free and can reduce energy consumption by around 20%.

Question 25

How many place settings does the Thermador DWHD870WPR dishwasher hold?

Question 26

Does the Thermador DWHD870WPR dishwasher require a custom handle?

Accepted Answer

Yes , when the Thermador DWHD870WPR dishwasher is installed with a custom door panel, it requires a custom handle because the standard handle mounts on the factory door. You'll need to choose a handle that matches your cabinetry and fits the custom panel—either provided separately by the manufacturer or selected to match your kitchen style.

Question 27

Does the Thermador DWHD870WPR dishwasher have a China/Crystal setting?

Accepted Answer

Question 28

Is the Thermador DWHD870WPR fully integrated?

Accepted Answer

Yes , the Thermador DWHD870WPR is a fully integrated dishwasher . A fully integrated dishwasher offers the ultimate seamless kitchen look by completely disappearing behind a custom cabinet panel, which also conceals its controls located on the top edge of the door. In contrast, a semi-integrated dishwasher, while also having controls on the top edge, keeps those controls visibly exposed on the appliance's own front panel, providing a distinct appearance that doesn't blend as completely into the cabinetry.
