Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If water remains in the wash cabinet
after the end of a program, the water
has not been pumped away. The drain
pump or the non-return valve may be
blocked by foreign objects. These are
easy to remove.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
power supply. To do this, turn off the
dishwasher and withdraw the plug.
Remove the filter combination from
the wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and
care, Cleaning the filters”).
Scoop the water out of the wash
cabinet using a small container.
Press the catch for the non-return
valve inwards
.
Tilt the non-return valve inwards until
it is released
.
Rinse it thoroughly under running
water and remove any soiling from
the non-return valve.
The drain pump is located beneath the
non-return valve (arrow).
Carefully remove all foreign objects
from the drain pump (watch out for
glass splinters which are particularly
difficult to detect). Turn the drain
pump impeller by hand to check that
there are no more obstructions. You
will feel a little resistance when you
turn the impeller.
Carefully replace the non-return
valve.
Make sure the catch engages
correctly!
Be careful not to damage any
delicate components when cleaning
the drain pump and the non-return
valve.
