Program not starting and cycle indicator light flashing on dishwasher

Issue

• Cycle indicator light is flashing on the dishwasher
• Program not starting in dishwasher

Applies to

• Dishwasher

Solution

Before starting the appliance always check if:

• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The spray arms are not clogged and can move freely.
• There is enough rinse aid.
• The arrangement of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable for the type of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.

If the dishwasher LED is flashing and the programme is not starting:

1. Make sure that the appliance door is fully closed. An audible click should be heard.

2. If the delay start is set, cancel the setting or wait for the end of the countdown.

3. Press and hold the RESET / CANCEL button(s) (normally highlighted on the panel) which should abort the cycle and drain the appliance.

If the above steps don't resolve the issue, we recommend contacting an Authorized Service Center.
