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 back on using the
sensor control.
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.
