General problems with the dishwasher
Problem
Possible cause and remedy
The indicator lights and
time display are dark.
The dishwasher has switched off automatically to
save energy.
Switch the dishwasher back on with the
button.
Detergent residue is left
in the detergent
compartment at the end
of a programme.
The detergent compartment was still damp when
detergent was added.
Only add the detergent when the detergent
compartment is dry.
The detergent
compartment lid cannot
be closed.
Residual detergent is blocking the catch.
Remove the residual detergent.
At the end of a
programme there is a
film of moisture on the
inside of the door and
possibly on the interior
walls.
This is part of the normal function of the drying
system. The moisture will dissipate after a short
while.
Water remains in the
wash cabinet at the end
of a programme.
Before rectifying the problem, you must:
Switch the dishwasher off.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged.
Clean the filter combination (see “Cleaning and
care – Cleaning the filters”).
The drain pump is blocked.
Clean the drain pump (see “Cleaning and care –
Cleaning the drain pump”).
The drain hose is kinked.
Remove any kinks from the drain hose.
