Possible cause
The dishes were not loaded
correctly.
The programme was not
powerful enough.
Not enough detergent was
dispensed.
Items are blocking the path
of the spray arms.
The filter combination in the
base of the wash cabinet is
not clean or is not correctly
fitted.
This may cause the spray
arm jets to get blocked.
The non-return valve is open
and blocked. Dirty water has
flowed back into the wash
cabinet.
The rinse aid dosage is set
too high.
Remedy

dishwasher".
Select a more intensive
programme. See
Programme chart.
Use more detergent, or
change your detergent.
Rearrange the items so that
the spray arms can rotate
freely.
Clean and/or fit the filter
combination correctly. Clean
the spray arm jets. See
"Cleaning and care".
Clean the drain pump and
the non-return valve. See
"Maintenance - Cleaning the
