Frequently asked questions
Possible cause and solution
The dishwasher has turned off automatically to save
energy.
 Turn the dishwasher on again with the  button.
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 time.
Before remedying the fault:
 Turn off the dishwasher.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged.
 Clean the filter combination (see "Cleaning the fil-
ters" under "Cleaning and care").
The drain pump is blocked.
 Clean the drain pump (see "Cleaning the drain
pump" under "Cleaning and care").
The drain hose is kinked.
 Remove any kinks from the drain hose.
The frequent use of low-temperature wash programs
(< 122°F/50°C) increases the risk of contamination
and odors inside the wash cabinet.
 Regularly run a high-temperature program. This is
to prevent contamination and odors.
