General problems with the dishwasher
Issue
Cause and remedy
The indicator lights and
the display are dark.
The dishwasher has switched off automatically to
save energy.
Switch the dishwasher on again 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
cabinet 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:
Switch the dishwasher off.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged.
Clean the filter combination (see “Cleaning and
care” chapter, “Cleaning the filters” section).
The drain pump is blocked.
Clean the drain pump (see “Cleaning and care”
chapter, “Cleaning the drain pump” section).
The drain hose is kinked.
Remove any kinks from the drain hose.
Build-up of odours in
the wash cabinet
The frequent use of low-temperature wash
programmes (< 50 °C) increases the risk of
contamination and odours inside the wash cabinet.
Regularly run a high-temperature programme. This
is to prevent the build-up of residues and odours.
