Possible Causes

Clogged spray arms, Blocked sump filter, Weak circulation pump, Incorrect detergent or overloading

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch off power before removing internal parts.

  • Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly clean the sump filter and coarse filter under hot water to restore proper water flow.
  • Unblock spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms. Rinse under running water and use a toothpick to clear blocked jets. Reinstall securely.
  • Load correctly: Avoid nesting dishes and blocking the spray arms. Follow Iberna loading diagrams in the manual.
  • Use correct detergent: Use quality dishwasher detergent and ensure the dispenser opens freely. Avoid mixing tablets with short eco cycles if performance is poor.
  • Check circulation pump: If spray pressure seems weak even after cleaning, the circulation pump may be worn and require replacement.

Run a hot intensive cycle after cleaning to flush the system.
