Possible cause
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.
Remedy
Make sure the dispenser is
dry before adding
detergent.
Clean the detergent from
the catch.
The moisture will dissipate
after a while.
Before rectifying the
problem:
– Switch the dishwasher
off using the On/Off
button K.
Clean the filter
combination. See
"Cleaning and care".
Clean the drain pump or
the non-return valve. See
"Maintenance".
Remove any kink from the
drain hose.
