76
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.
