Water in wash cabinet

There is water in the wash cabinet of the dishwasher at the end of the programme.

The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged. (G 7xxx)

Make sure that coarse soiling does not fall into the circulation system, causing a blockage.

Caution: risk of being cut

It is especially difficult to see glass splinters!

Clean the filter combination, proceeding as follows:

  • Switch the dishwasher off.

  • Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm anti-clockwise  (view from above) and pull the spray arm upwards to remove .

  • Before removing the filter combination, remove any coarse soiling to prevent it from entering the circulation system.

  • Remove the filter combination.

  • In order to clean the inside of the filter, pull the microfilter on the plastic ring downwards and away from the filter combination.

  • Rinse all the parts under running water.
    If necessary, use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling.

  • Insert the microfilter back into the filter combination.

  • Refit the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

  • Refit the lower spray arm to the filter combination using the screw thread.
