Something Not Working - Zanussi DE 4744 Instruction Book

Something not working

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. The indicator light of the programme under and one or more of the phase indicator lights (WASHING,
DRYING, END OF PROGRAMME) are 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 in the digital display, contact your local Service Force Centre.
Important: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or
installation a charge will be made, even if the appliance is in guarantee.
