Something not working
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an
engineer.
The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to quickly determine the cause of any
problems.
In the case of alarm intervention the dishwasher will not start or stops during operation, all push buttons are inoperative
except for the ON/OFF push button. All indicator lights are off except for the ON/OFF indicator light.
One of the programme indicator lights starts flashing to indicate which kind of fault has occurred.
Press the ON/OFF push button to switch the dishwasher off and open the door, carry out the following suggested corrective
actions listed below.
Once the checks have been carried out switch on the dishwasher and start a washing programme, if the fault code
reappears, contact your local Service Force Centre.
Important: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation a
charge will be made even if the appliance is in guarantee.
