Dishwasher - Steam During Operation

It is normal to see steam coming from the vent on a dishwasher when it is in use. We are explaining this normal occurrence below.

Understanding Steam or Vapor Coming From a Dishwasher While In Use

You may see water vapor (or steam) coming out of the vent near the door latch and/or appearing on surrounding surfaces such as the counter and door during the dishwasher operation. This vapor, although warm, is not dangerous and is normal. The vent will be visible either on the upper left or right corner of the door. If there is not a visible vent on the outside of the door, it has a vent on the interior of the door called a Hidden Vent or ActiVent. You should not see steam on these models.
