Drainage

The dishwasher display shows Drainage. There is a water drainage fault. There might be water in the wash cabinet. The alarm tone is sounding.

The drain pump cover does not engage properly.

If the drain pump cover does not fit properly, the drain pump chamber is leaking.
The water is not being pumped away.
This may produce unsatisfactory wash results.

Switch the dishwasher off.

Press the catch of the drain pump cover inwards (1).

Tip the cover inwards until it is released (2).

Rinse the cover thoroughly under running water and remove all foreign objects.

The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover.

  • Risk of injury from glass splinters.

    It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump.

    Take care when cleaning the drain pump.

  • Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump.

  • Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.

  • Refit the cover by placing it down vertically from above.

  • Ensure that the catch engages correctly.
