6.1Dishwashingresults
Check the following points if the dishes are not
clean (always begin by checking any fault codes
and the most recent fault indication in the
service menu):
• That the customer is using the right dishwash-
ing program.
• If heavily soiled dishes are being loaded, such
as pots or oven dishes, choose a heavier pro-
gram.
• Check that the customer is using a suitable
dishwashing detergent, preferably one with
proven good results.
• Detergent is a perishable product. Check
that the detergent is not too old and that the
customer is using the right amount. Most
importantly not too much detergent.
• For machines with a water softener, dose as
for soft water.
• Check that the customer is loading the ma-
chine correctly.
• Check that no dishes are preventing the
spray arms from rotating and that the holes
are not clogged.
• Check that the machine has the right water
level (see page 29).
• Check that the gauge block on the left side
of the bottom drain by the drain pump is in
place.
• Check that the machine heats to the right
temperature.

6.2 Common faults
If the dishwasher does not work, you
should rst check whether this is due to a
simple fault, something that the customer
can rectify. Use the following questions to
troubleshoot the machine.
Themachinewillnotstart
• Has a fuse blown?
• Is the machine powered?
• Is the door properly closed?
• Is the water supply turned on?
If the answer to any of the above questions is
“YES” and the machine seems to lack power,
rst check that there is power at the main
power switch and the control unit. Replace
any faulty components.
Water remaining in the machine
• Is the drain hose blocked? Check the con-
nection to the household drain.
• Is the drain hose bent?
• Are the lters blocked?
• Is the drain pump blocked?
• Is the gauge block on the left side of the
bottom drain by the drain pump incor-
rectly tted?
If the fault cannot be found with the help of this
chapter, open the service menu and perform an
function test on all components.
