Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an
engineer.
The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to quickly determine the cause of any
problems.
The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation, all push buttons are inoperative except for the On/Off push button
and all the indicator lights are off. An audible signal will inform you of the alarm intervention and one or more programme
indicator lights will start flashing.
Press the On/Off push button to switch off the dishwasher and carry out the following suggested corrective actions listed
below.
Once the checks have been carried out switch on the dishwasher and start a washing programme, if the fault code
reappears contact your local Service Force Centre.
