General dishwasher problems
Problem
Possible cause and solution
The indicator lights and
display are dark.
The dishwasher has switched off automatically to
save energy.
Turn the dishwasher on again with the
button.
The interior lighting
does not switch on
when the door is
opened.
The interior lighting has been switched off
permanently.
Switch the lighting back on again (see “Settings
menu, ClearView Lighting”).
Detergent residue is left
in the dispenser at the
end of a program.
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.
Detergent residue is blocking the latch.
Remove the detergent residue.
The inside of the door
and/or the interior walls
are wet after a program
has finished.
This is not a fault.
It is caused by the drying system.
The moisture will dissipate after a short while.
Water remains in the
wash cabinet at the end
of a program.
Before remedying the fault:
Turn the dishwasher off with the
button.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged.
Clean the filter combination (see “Cleaning and
care, Cleaning the filters”).
The drain pump or the non-return valve is blocked.
Clean the drain pump or the non-return valve (see
