Bosch dishwashers dry by condensation: a hot final rinse warms the dishes and moisture condenses on the cooler stainless steel tub walls instead of being baked off by a bottom heating element. Source: Bosch - Tips to Maximize Drying

Local Notes for Arlington
Arlington County Department of Environmental Services (water treated by the Washington Aqueduct from the Potomac River), which supplies Arlington, reports hardness of about 135 mg/L (8 grains per gallon) on average. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
