• Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine
• Selected programme is unsuitable
• Impellers are stuck or their holes are clogged
• Filters are clogged or installed incorrectly
• Baskets are overloaded
• Detergent is not sufficient or stored improperly
• Rinse aid is not sufficient
• Detergent dispenser lid is left open
