ECO is the low power drying mode for dishwashers. Takes longer, but instead of heating a 500 watt element for an hour, they lo-volt it so it only warms to about 25 watts. Just enough to put a *little* heat in the cabinet to aid the drying process.

I’m a mechanical engineer. Been repairing heat/air and appliances as a hobby for over 50 years.
