General problems with the dishwasher
Problem
The indicator lights and
time display are dark.
Detergent residue is left
in the detergent
compartment at the end
of a programme.
The detergent
compartment lid cannot
be closed.
At the end of a

Possible cause and remedy
The dishwasher has switched off automatically to
save energy.
Switch the dishwasher back on with the button.
The detergent compartment was still damp when
detergent was added.
Only add the detergent when the detergent
compartment is dry.
Residual detergent is blocking the catch.
Remove the residual detergent.
This is part of the normal function of the drying
system. The moisture will dissipate after a short
while.
Before rectifying the problem, you must:
Switch the dishwasher off.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged.
Clean the filter combination (see "Cleaning and
care – Cleaning the filters").
The drain pump is blocked.
Clean the drain pump (see "Cleaning and care –
Cleaning the drain pump").
The drain hose is kinked.
Remove any kinks from the drain hose.
The frequent use of low-temperature wash
programmes (< 50 °C) increases the risk of
contamination and odours inside the wash cabinet.
Regularly run a high-temperature programme. This
is to prevent the build-up of residues and odours.
