Fault

Cause

troubleshooting

Tableware is not dry.

The combined detergent
used has a poor drying per-
formance.

1.

Use rinse aid to improve drying per-
formance.

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.

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 34

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.
