General problems with the dishwasher
Problem 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 com-
partment at the end of a
programme. 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 pro-
gramme there is a film
of moisture on the in-
side 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 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 pro-
grammes (< 50 °C) increases the risk of contamina-
tion and odours inside the wash cabinet.
 Regularly run a high-temperature programme. This
is to prevent the build-up of residues and odours.
