Problem Possible cause Remedy
Detergent residue is left
in the dispenser at the
end of a programme. The dispenser was still
damp when detergent
was added. Make sure the dispenser
is dry before adding
detergent.
The detergent dispenser
lid cannot be closed
properly. Clogged detergent
residue is blocking the
catch. Clean the detergent from
the catch.
At the end of a
programme there is a
film of moisture on the
inside of the door and
possibly the interior
walls. This is caused by the
drying system and does
not indicate a fault. The moisture will dissipate
after a while.
Water remains in the
wash cabinet at the end
of a programme. Before rectifying the
problem:
– Switch the machine off
with the
-
button.
The filter combination in
the wash cabinet is
clogged. Clean the filter
combination. See
"Cleaning and care".
The drain pump or
non-return valve may be
blocked. Clean the drain pump or
the non-return valve. See
"Maintenance".
The drain hose is kinked. Remove any kink from the
drain hose.
Some programmes run
for a long time. This is not a fault.
Some special
programmes have a long
duration. Select a different
programme.
See Programme chart.
Even although the
AutoOpen function has
been selected, the door
remains closed at the
end of the short
programme.
Therefore the crockery
is still damp. This is not a fault.
The AutoOpen function is
not available with the
Short programme due to
its short programme
duration. In order to improve the
drying result, the
temperature of the final
rinse can be increased
(see "Settings menu, Final
rinse temp.").
