Possible Causes

Clogged spray arm jets, Dirty filters, Weak circulation pump, Incorrect loading blocking spray arms

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch off and unplug before removing internal parts.

  • Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly clean all filters under hot water.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms and clear all jets with a toothpick. Rinse well.
  • Check loading: Ensure large items do not block the rotation of spray arms. Follow Bauknecht loading diagrams in the user manual.
  • Use proper detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher detergent and ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
  • Test circulation: If cleaning is still poor, the circulation pump may be weak and require replacement.
