Troubleshooting

Problem:

Possible causes / Solutions:

after approximately one minute and reset the cycle. 

•  The appliance has not been plugged in properly.

•  The drain duct is blocked.

•  The filter is clogged up with food residues.

The dishwasher makes excessive 

noise.

•  The dishes are rattling against each other or against the sprayer arms.

•  An excessive amount of foam has been produced: the detergent has not 

been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers 

(see Start-up and use).

 

The dishes and glasses are 

covered in a white film or 

limescale deposits.

•  The level of refined salt is low or the dosage setting is not suited to the 

hardness of the water (

see Rinse aid and salt

).

•  The lid on the salt dispenser is not closed properly.

•  The rinse aid has been used up or the dosage is too low.

The dishes and glasses are 

streaked or have a bluish tinge.

•  The rinse aid dosage is too high.

The crockery has not been dried 

properly.

•  The rinse aid has been used up or the dosage is too low (

see Rinse aid 

and salt

).

•  The rinse aid dispenser setting is not suitable.

The dishes are not clean.

•  The racks are overloaded (

see Loading the racks

).

•  The crockery has not been arranged properly.

•  The sprayer arms cannot rotate freely.

•  The wash cycle is too gentle (

been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers 

(see Start-Up and Use).

 

•  The lid on the rinse aid compartment has not been shut correctly. 

•  The filter is dirty or blocked (

see Care and maintenance

).

•  The refined salt level is low (

see Rinse aid and salt

•  Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Shut off the 

water tap to eliminate the risk of flooding and remove the plug from the 

electrical socket.

  Make sure the water inlet filter has not become blocked by impurities (see 

“Care and maintenance” chapter).

The dishwasher does not take any 

water in - Tap shut-off alarm 

(indicator light ON/OFF flashing; 

H2O

 and 

tap 

symbol displayed; 

F 6 

appears after a 

few seconds).

•  There is no water in the mains supply.

•  The water inlet hose is bent (see 

Installation

).

•  Turn on the tap and the appliance will start after a few minutes.

•  The appliance lock has been activated because no action was taken when 

the beeps sounded. 

  Switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF button, turn on the tap and 

switch the appliance back on after a few seconds by pressing the same 

button. Re-program the appliance and restart the wash cycle.

clean the cup filter and stainless-steel filter (see “Care and maintenance” 

chapter). The “blocked filter” symbol will go off when the following cycle 

starts.
