cause. The amount of

sufficient to deal with
natural dyes.

has not been screwed on
properly.
The affected items are
not corrosion resistant.
Clogged detergent
residue is blocking the
catch.
The dispenser was still
damp when detergent
was added.
The filter combination in
the wash cabinet is
clogged.
The drain pump or the
non-return valve may be
blocked.
The drain hose is kinked.
