Fault	Cause	Troubleshooting
Water marks on plastic parts.	Due to laws of physics droplet formation on plastic surfaces is unavoidable. After drying water marks are visible.	Select a more intensive programme. Position tableware at an angle. Use rinse aid. Set the water softening system higher.
Wipeable or water-soluble coatings are present inside the appliance or on the door.	Detergent substances are deposited there. These coatings cannot generally be removed with chemicals.	Change your "detergent". Clean the appliance mechanically.
Stubborn white coatings are present on tableware, inside the appliance or the door.	Detergent substances are deposited there. These coatings cannot generally be removed with chemicals.	Change your "detergent". Clean the appliance mechanically.
White coating is deposited in the appliance interior.	Special salt dispenser is not screwed tight.	Screw the special salt dispenser tight.
The hardness range is set incorrectly or the water hardness is greater than 62 °E (8,9 mmol/l).	3in1/organic/eco detergent is not effective enough.	Set the "Water softening system" to the water hardness or add special salt. Set the "Water softening system" to the water hardness and use separate detergents.
Too little detergent is being used.	Washing programme selected too weak.	Increase the amount of detergent used or change "Detergent". Select a more intensive washing programme. Adjust the sensitivity of the sensors.
Tea residue or lipstick marks on tableware.	Washing temperature is too low.	Select a programme with a higher washing temperature.
Coloured coatings (blue, yellow, brown) that are difficult or impossible to remove are present inside the appliance or on stainless steel tableware.	The formation of films is due to substances contained in vegetables (cabbage, celery, potatoes, noodles, etc.) or tap water (manganese).	Clean the appliance. You can remove deposits with "Mechanical cleaning" or a machine cleaning product.
Coloured deposits (yellow, orange, brown) that are easy to remove are present inside the appliance (mainly at the bottom).	The formation of films is due to metal components on silver or aluminium tableware.	Clean the appliance. You can remove deposits with "Mechanical cleaning" or a machine cleaning product.
Plastic parts inside the appliance are discoloured.	Plastic parts inside the appliance may become discoloured during the life of the dishwasher.	Discolouration can come about and will not impair functioning of the appliance.
Plastic parts are discoloured.	Washing temperature is too low.	Select a programme with a higher washing temperature.
Removable streaks are present on glasses, glassware with a metallic appearance and cutlery.	Amount of rinse aid to be dispensed is set too high. No rinse aid has been added.	Set the rinse aid system to a lower setting. Add rinse aid.
Detergent residue is present in the final rinse. Lid of the detergent dispenser is blocked by tableware items and will not open fully.	Tableware has been pre-cleaned too intensely. The sensors chose a weaker programme. Stubborn soiling cannot be entirely removed.	Only remove large remnants of food and do not prerinse tableware. Adjust the sensitivity of the sensors.
Irreversible clouding of glassware.	Glasses are not dishwasher-proof, only suitable for dishwashers.	Use dishwasher-proof glasses. Avoid a lengthy steam phase. Use a programme with a lower temperature. Set the softening system to the water hardness. Use detergent with a glass protection component.
Rust spots on cutlery.	Cutlery is not sufficiently rust-resistant. Knife blades are often more severely affected. Cutlery may also rust if washed together with rusting items.	Use rust-resistant tableware. Do not wash rusting items.
Salt content in washing water is too high.	Rust spots on cutlery.	Remove any spilled special salt from the tub. Screw the cap of the special salt dispenser on tight.
Spray arms were blocked by tableware so detergent was not rinsed out. Detergent dispenser was damp when detergent was added.	Detergent residue is present in the detergent dispenser or the tablet collecting tray.	Check that the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely. Only add detergent to a detergent dispenser when dry.
Excessive formation of foam occurs.	Hand washing-up liquid is present in dispenser for rinse aid. Rinse aid has been spilled. Detergent or appliance care product used causes excessive foaming.	Immediately add rinse aid to the dispenser. Remove the rinse aid with a cloth. Change the brand of detergent.
Special salt refill indicator lights up.	Insufficient special salt.	Add "Special salt".
