General problems

Problem
The indicator lights
are dark. Only the U
indicator is
illuminated.
Detergent residue is
left in the dispenser at
the end of a
programme.
The detergent
dispenser lid cannot
be closed properly.
At the end of a
programme there is a
film of moisture on
the inside of the door
and the interior walls.
Water remains in the
wash cabinet at the
end of a programme.
Possible cause
The indicator lights have
switched off automatically
to save energy (Standby
mode).
The dispenser was still
damp when detergent was
added.
Clogged detergent residue
is blocking the catch.
This is caused by the
drying system and does
not indicate a fault.
The filter combination in
the wash cabinet is
clogged.
The drain pump or
non-return valve may be
blocked.
The drain hose is kinked.
