Fault

Cause

troubleshooting

Tableware is not dry.

2.

Use a different combined detergent
with a better drying performance.

Extra Dry not activated to im-
prove drying performance.

Activate Extra Dry.

Tableware removed too
early or drying process not
yet ended.

1.

Wait until the programme ends.

2.

Only remove tableware 30 minutes
after the programme has ended.

Rinse aid used has a limited
drying performance.

Use a name-brand rinse aid.
Eco products may have limited ef-
fectiveness.

Appliance door does not
open automatically at the
end of the programme

Adjust the appliance door as de-
scribed in the installation instruc-
tions.
The door gap must be at least
70 mm - 100 mm.

Plastic tableware is not dry.

Not a fault. As plastic does
not store heat so well, it also
does not dry as well.

No remedial action possible.

Cutlery is not dry.

Cutlery not arranged prop-
erly in the cutlery basket or
cutlery drawer.

Droplets can form on the cutlery con-
tact points.

1.

Arrange cutlery individually where
possible.

Page 30

2.

Avoid points of contact.

Appliance interior still wet
after wash cycle.

Not a fault. The condensa-
tion drying principle causes
water droplets in the tub –
they are indeed desirable
here. The moisture in the air
condenses on the inside
walls, runs off and is
pumped out.

No action required.

Remnants of food on table-
ware.

Tableware is placed too
close together or basket is
overfilled.

1.

Arrange tableware with sufficient
space in between.
The spray jets must reach the sur-
faces of the tableware.

2.

Avoid points of contact.

Spray arm rotation is
blocked.

Arrange tableware so that it does
not obstruct spray arm rotation.

Spray arm nozzles are
blocked.

Clean the Spray arms
