the wash cabinet
106
Cause and remedy
The dishwasher has switched off automatically to
save energy.
 Switch the dishwasher back on using the
 sensor control.
The detergent compartment was still damp when de-
tergent was added.
 Only add the detergent when the detergent com-
partment is dry.
Residual detergent is blocking the catch.
 Remove the residual detergent.
This is part of the normal function of the drying sys-
tem. The moisture will dissipate after a short while.
Before rectifying the problem:
 Switch the dishwasher off.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged.
 Clean the filter combination (see "Cleaning and
care" chapter, "Cleaning the filters" section).
The drain pump is blocked.
 Clean the drain pump (see "Cleaning and care"
chapter, "Cleaning the drain pump" section).
The drain hose is kinked.
 Remove any kinks from the drain hose.
The frequent use of low-temperature wash pro-
grammes (< 50 °C) increases the risk of contamina-
tion and odours inside the wash cabinet.
 Regularly run a high-temperature programme. This
is to prevent the build-up of residues and odours.
