Possible cause and remedy
The dishwasher has switched off automatically to
save energy.
 Switch the dishwasher on again with the  but‐
ton.
The dispenser was still damp when detergent was
added.
 Make sure the dispenser is dry before adding de‐
tergent.
Clogged detergent residue is blocking the catch.
 Clean the detergent from the catch.

dicate a fault. The moisture will dissipate after a
while.
