Troubleshooting...
Caution
-Do not forget that repairs should only be carried out by a qualified specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable equipment damage as well as danger to the user.
-The dishwasher must first be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work can be carried out. Switch off at the mains socket and water supply and remove the plug.
Resolving minor problems yourself.
Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that arise during normal daily usage yourself, without having to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs, but it also means the appliance is available for use again that much sooner. The following list of common occurrences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of most problems.
Problems...
...When the appliance is switched on.
●Appliance does not start:
-Is the dishwasher plugged in at the electricity socket and switch on?
-Is there a power failure, check other appliances.
-Fault with fuse in mains electricity supply.
-Appliance door not closed properly.
-Water tap not turned on.
-Ensure fill hose is not kinked.
... If water remains inside the dishwasher, check:
●the drain hose is not kinked.
●the drain syphon is not obstructed.
●the dishwasher filters are not clogged.
...If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check:
●the correct amount of detergent has been added.
●there is regenerating salt in the salt container.
●the dishes are being loaded correctly.
●the selected programme is suitable for the type of dishes and the degree of soiling.
●all filters are clean and positioned correctly.
●the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed.
●there is nothing obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.
...If the dishes fail to dry or remain full, check:
●there is rinse aid inside the rinse aid container.
●the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct.
●the detergent being used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).
...If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining etc. check:
●the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
...If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank, check:
●the tank is made of steel and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the tank pipes, pots, cutlery etc.) Special products are commercially available to remove such marks.
●the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain detergents can be more corrosive than others.
●the cap off the salt container is securely closed and that the water softening setting is correct.
If you have gone through the possibilities in the list above and the problem persists, contact your nearest Service office (see Back Cover).
Switch off at the mains socket and remove the plug. Turn off the water supply.
