The word 'Hot' or a thermometer symbol remains on the display even when the oven is off.
This is a safety feature, not an error. It indicates that the oven cavity still has residual heat and is hot to the touch.
No action is required. The indicator will turn off automatically once the oven has cooled down to a safe temperature.
Machine beeps and shows an error indicating it cannot fill with water.
This is a water inlet timeout error. The machine did not fill to the required level within a set time.
Check that the water tap is on. Inspect the fill hose for kinks. Clean the filter in the inlet valve. Check for low household water pressure.
Cycle ends with dirty water left in the tub.
This is a water drain timeout error. The machine could not drain the water within a set time.
Clean the main filter and microfilter. Check the drain hose for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the sink spigot connection is not blocked.
The dishwasher has stopped, and the drain pump may be running continuously.
The anti-flood safety system has been triggered, indicating a leak into the base of the machine.
Unplug the appliance. Locate and fix the source of the leak. Drain the water from the base pan to reset the safety switch.
The machine makes a humming noise, but the spray arms are not rotating and no washing sound is heard.
There is a problem with the main wash pump (circulation motor). It could be seized, or its starting capacitor may have failed.
Check if the motor impeller is blocked by foreign objects. Test the motor windings and the capacitor. The entire motor assembly may need replacement.
Cycle stops abruptly, possibly with steam coming from the unit.
Overheating detected. The water has reached too high a temperature, usually due to a stuck heater relay on the control board or a faulty NTC sensor.
Allow the appliance to cool. If the issue repeats, test the NTC sensor. If the sensor is good, the main control board is likely faulty and needs replacement.
The hob is on but the controls do not respond to touch.
The child lock feature is activated, disabling the touch controls to prevent accidental use.
Deactivate the child lock. This usually involves pressing and holding the lock symbol or a specific combination of buttons for several seconds until the 'L' disappears.
Alarm and 'LC' (Low Cooler) warning displayed.
The fresh food compartment temperature is too low, and items may be freezing.
Check that the temperature setting is not too low. Ensure that food items are not blocking the air vents, which can disrupt circulation and cause cold spots. Check the damper control if applicable.
The oven controls are unresponsive and 'SAFE' or a lock symbol is displayed.
The child lock feature is activated, disabling the oven controls.
Consult the user manual to find the correct button combination to deactivate the child lock. This is typically done by pressing and holding two specific buttons simultaneously for several seconds.
Appliance is not functioning correctly and displays 'SR'.
'Service Required'. This is a general fault code indicating the main control board has detected a critical error that it cannot specify.
Try resetting the appliance by unplugging it for 15 minutes. If the error returns, the appliance requires diagnosis by a qualified service technician.
