Drainage

The dishwasher display shows Drainage. There is a water drainage fault. There may 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.

Turn off the dishwasher.

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

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

Rinse the cover thoroughly under running water and remove any 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 any 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.

  • Reinstall the cover by pushing down.

  • Ensure that the catch engages correctly.
