a plumber rather than a serviceman for
dishwashers.
Foam in the tub
Wrong detergent.
Use only the special dishwasher
detergent to avoid suds. If this occurs,
open the dishwasher and let suds
evaporate. Add 1 liter of cold water
to the bottom of the dishwasher.
Close the dishwasher door, then select
any cycle. Initially, the dishwasher will
drain out the water. Open the door
after draining stage is complete and
check if the suds have disappeared.
Repeat if necessary.
Spilled rinse-aid.
Always wipe up rinse-aid spills
immediately.

Detergent with colourant may
have been used.
Make sure that the detergent has no
colourant.

To clean the interior, use the damp
soft cloth with dishwasher detergent
and wear rubber gloves. Never use
any other cleaner than dishwasher
detergent otherwise, it may cause
foaming or suds.
