Cause and troubleshooting

Dishware is not dry.

Position dishware at an angle where possible.

The combined detergent used has a poor drying performance.

Page 31.

Dishware removed too early or drying process not yet ended.

1.

Wait until the program ends.

2.

Only remove dishware 30 minutes after the program has ended.

Rinse aid used has a limited drying performance.

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

Silverware is not dry.

Silverware not arranged properly in the silverware basket or silverware drawer.

Page 27

2.

Avoid points of contact.

Appliance interior still wet after

wash cycle.

Not an error. Condensation drying creates water droplets in the tub. This is normal.

Moisture in the air condenses on the inside walls of the appliance, runs off, and is

pumped out.

No action required.

Food remnants on dishware.

Dishware was placed too close together or rack is overfilled.

1.

Arrange dishware with sufficient space in between.
The spray jets must reach the surfaces of the dishware.

2.

Avoid points of contact.

Spray arm rotation of the lower spray arm is blocked.

Arrange dishware so it does not obstruct spray arm rotation.

Spray arm nozzles are blocked.

Clean the Spray arms

Filters are dirty.
