Usually caused by a blocked filter, sump, drain hose, waste connection, pump obstruction or failed drain pump. Send the E-Nr model number and a photo of the waste connection.
Standing water after the programme often points to filter blockage, pump restriction, kinked hose, blocked sink spigot or a drainage fault.
A hum can be a pump trying to run against a blockage, a seized motor, inlet valve noise or a circulation pump issue.
Possible causes include closed tap, kinked inlet hose, faulty inlet valve, AquaStop fault, float switch activation or control fault.
This can be a water level, flow meter, heat pump, circulation, motor, sensor or control issue depending on the model.
Stop the appliance if water level rises too high. The fault may involve inlet valve, level sensor, pressure chamber or control board.
Possible inlet valve, float, level sensor, pressure chamber or PCB fault. Continued use can risk leaking.
If water enters but the spray arms do not move, the issue may be circulation pump, blocked spray arms, sump filter, motor capacitor or control fault.
Check for blocked jets, badly loaded dishes, low water level, weak circulation pump or blocked filter system.
Grinding, scraping or rattling during wash may be debris in the pump, worn bearings, loose impeller or circulation pump failure.
Stop using until checked. Tripping may be caused by heater leakage, pump motor fault, wiring, water leak onto electrics or control module issue.
Often heating, drying fan, pump or water leak related. Timing within the cycle helps narrow the fault.
Check socket and fuse first. Appliance causes include mains filter, door switch, control board, wiring or internal fuse fault.
May be power supply, module, control fascia, door wiring loom or mains filter related.
Could be child lock, wet control panel, touch board, fascia issue, ribbon cable or main PCB fault.
Possible basket obstruction, latch, hinge, spring, door seal or installation alignment issue.
Usually spring, rope, hinge or integrated door balance issue. Continued use can strain hinges.
On integrated machines, broken door ropes or springs make the door heavy and unsafe to let drop.
Decor panel fixings, brackets, sliding kit or hinge alignment may need adjusting.
Likely door seal, lower seal, spray arm split, overfill, blocked filter, damaged hinge or poor loading.
Could be pump seal, sump seal, hose, water softener, heater pump, float chamber, door leak travelling underneath or installation leak.
Often side chamber, hose, water matrix, seal, door gasket or overfill related.
May be hose, fill chamber, door seal, cabinet seal or internal water path fault.
Spray pressure, split arm, door seal, sump seal or circulation pump seal may be involved.
Inlet hose, AquaStop hose, valve, dispenser chamber, side fill chamber or level fault may be involved.
Anti-flood float may be activated, or water may be in the base tray. A leak may need tracing.
This often indicates anti-flood protection or control issue. Turn off if the pump will not stop.
Often water in the base tray triggering anti-flood. The source leak must be found, not just dried out.
Commonly drainage restriction, blocked filter, hose issue, sink spigot blockage or pump fault.
Usually drain pump blockage, impeller obstruction, pump cover issue or pump failure.
Often linked to a valve or dispenser/water system component depending on the exact model.
Frequently associated with heating circuit or heat pump failure on some Bosch/Neff/Siemens platforms.
Can relate to water system, heater or control issues depending on E-Nr. Send a photo of the display.
Electronic or control-related on some models. Exact meaning depends on model and production version.
May involve heating, control or sensor faults depending on model.
Can indicate water level or draining/filling sequence fault depending on appliance version.
Often door sensor, switch or lock-related on some models, but exact E-Nr is needed.
May relate to drying fan or drying system on some models.
Temperature sensor or heating measurement issue may be involved depending on the appliance.
Flow meter, water inlet measurement or fill system fault may be involved.
Water inlet valve or unexpected water intake can cause this on some models.
Often overfill or water level issue. Stop use if water level is high.
Usually water inlet problem: tap, hose, filter, valve, pressure or flow meter checks may be needed.
Pump, motor or circulation issue may be involved depending on exact platform.
Circulation pump blockage or motor fault may be involved.
Blocked filter, dirty sump or drainage restriction is common.
Drain pump electrical fault can be involved.
Usually supply voltage issue on some models. Check socket if safe and send model details.
Water system or zeolith/drying-related issue can appear on selected models.
Usually water inlet, fill, pressure, filter, AquaStop or flow issue. Check tap is fully open.
Normally indicates programme running, but with no wash action it may point to circulation issue.
May be low salt, cap not sealed, water softener setting, sensor or salt chamber issue.
Could be low rinse aid, dispenser float, sensor, settings or dispenser fault.
Possible low water temperature, poor spray action, blocked arms, failed dispenser, wrong programme or loading obstruction.
Door spring, wax motor, solenoid, latch, control signal or basket obstruction can stop release.
Usually dispenser not opening fully, poor water spray, low temperature or tablet trapped by loading.
Blocked filters, poor loading, weak circulation, blocked spray arms, wrong detergent, low temperature or sensor issue.
Can be hard water, salt setting, rinse aid, detergent overdose, glass corrosion or poor drying.
Often salt cap leak, wrong salt setting, hard water, detergent residue or rinse aid setting.
Food residue, blocked filters, poor drainage, dirty sump or weak spray can leave grit.
Food build-up, blocked filter, dirty sump, stagnant drain hose, backflow from sink waste or poor maintenance can cause odours.
Door seals and lower edges can hold food and moisture. Cleaning may help, but leaks or drainage issues may add to it.
May be rinse aid setting, programme choice, fan, heat pump, drying system, door opening feature or loading issue.
Common causes include low rinse aid, eco programme, plastics retaining water, heater fault or drying fan issue.
Fan bearing, obstruction, housing distortion or drying system fault may be involved.
Symptoms can include E09, no heat, poor washing, poor drying or tripping. Model details are essential.
Could be heat pump, heater relay, wiring, sensor, flow issue or control module fault.
Temperature sensor, relay, control board or programme fault may be involved.
Heating faults, sensor issues, poor water fill, blocked filters or eco programme behaviour may extend cycle time.
May be power, door latch, pump, heater, water level, leak protection or control issue.
Door latch, water supply, error code, programme setting or control panel issue may be involved.
Check for displayed code, open door warning, end-of-cycle sound, leak protection or programme error.
Possible door latch, power, start button, child lock, delayed start, water supply, control board or programme issue.
Often heating, sensor, water level or control issue. The machine may be waiting for a condition it cannot reach.
Control panel, stuck buttons, child lock, PCB or software state may be involved.
May need reset procedure, but damaged controls or fascia can also be responsible.
Control panel, button issue or programme setting may need reset or inspection.
Check router and app first. Some smart faults are connectivity rather than appliance repair issues.
May need app reset, network check, appliance reset or module investigation depending on symptoms.
Spray arm hitting dishes, loose basket, pump noise or water hammer can cause knocking.
Usually loading, spray arm contact, loose filter, basket wheels or pump debris.
Motor bearings, pump issue, water valve noise or spray arm friction can cause squealing.
Stop using if electrical smell appears. Possible heater, wiring, pump motor or control board issue.
Can be hot plastic, trapped item near heater, new appliance smell or overheated component.
Some steam is normal, but excessive steam can mean door seal, venting, drying system or temperature issue.
Basket coating can fail over time. Replacement depends on model and basket availability.
