Possible cause and remedy

The program was not suitable for the requirements.
 Select a more suitable program (see "Program
overview").
Not enough detergent was dispensed.
 Increase the dosage.
The cleaning detergent used is not suitable for the
type of soiling present.
 Switch to another detergent.
Items are blocking the path of the spray arms.
 Rearrange the items so that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet
is not clean or is not correctly fitted.
This may cause the spray arm jets to get blocked.
 Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly.
 Clean the spray arm jets, if necessary (see
"Cleaning and care").
The non-return valve is open and blocked. Dirty water
has flowed back into the wash cabinet.
 Clean the drain pump or the non-return valve (see
"Maintenance").
The rinse aid dosage is set too high.
 Reduce the dosage (see "Settings menu, Rinse
aid").
The rinse aid dosage is set too low or the rinse aid
reservoir is empty.
 Replenish the rinse aid, increase the dosage or
change the brand of rinse aid used (see "Adding
rinse aid").
Dishware was taken out of the cabinet too soon.
 Leave dishes in longer (see "Operation").
