General dishwasher problems
Problem
Possible cause and solution
The indicator lights and
time display are dark.
The dishwasher has turned off automatically to save
energy.
Turn the dishwasher on again with the
button.
Detergent residue is left
in the detergent com-
partment at the end of a
program.
The detergent compartment was still damp when de-
tergent was added.
Only add the detergent when the detergent com-
partment is dry.
The detergent compart-
ment lid cannot be
closed.
Residual detergent is blocking the catch.
Remove the residual detergent.
At the end of a program
there is a film of mois-
ture on the inside of the
door and possibly on
the interior cabinet
walls.
This is part of the normal function of the drying sys-
tem. The moisture will dissipate after a short time.
Water remains in the
wash cabinet at the end
of a program.
Before remedying the fault:
Turn off the dishwasher.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged.
Clean the filter combination (see “Cleaning the fil-
ters” under “Cleaning and care”).
The drain pump is blocked.
Clean the drain pump (see “Cleaning the drain
pump” under “Cleaning and care”).
The drain hose is kinked.
Remove any kinks from the drain hose.
