Spray arm fault

Problem

Cause and remedy

During the programme
and at the end of the
programme, the display
shows the following
message:

Check spray arms

The dishwasher does
not switch off at the end
of the programme.
The wash items may not
be clean because no
detergent was dis-
pensed. The

Auto-

Dos

function is auto-

matically deactivated
during the programme
sequence.

The lower spray arm is blocked or the nozzles of the
lower spray arm are clogged. The

AutoDos

function

is automatically deactivated during the programme
sequence because the AutoDos detergent outlet
cannot be completely flushed out.



Switch the dishwasher off and back on again.

Messages appear in the display.



Perform a rotation check of the lower spray arm
and rearrange the wash items if they are blocking
the spray arm.



Clean the lower spray arm (see “Cleaning and
care” chapter, “Cleaning the spray arms” section).



Select

to confirm each message.


