Problem

Possible cause and remedy

Knocking noise in the
wash cabinet.

A spray arm is knocking against a crockery piece.



Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash
items that are obstructing the spray arm.

Rattling noise in the
wash cabinet.

Items of crockery are not secure in the wash cabinet.



Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash
items so that they sit securely.

There is a foreign object (e.g. glass shard) in the drain
pump.



Remove the foreign object from the drain pump
(see “Cleaning and care - Cleaning the drain
pump”).

Knocking noise in the
water pipes

This may be caused by the on-site installation or the
cross-section of the piping.



However, this will not affect the functioning of the
dishwasher in any way. If in doubt, contact a
suitably qualified plumber.
