Repair your Baumatic Dishwasher?
There are certain Baumatic dishwasher faults which may not always require the attention of a Service Engineer and you could fix at home without too much work. We've listed some common dishwasher faults and their solutions:
- The dishes are still wet
- This can be the result of incorrect loading which may be preventing the water from running off freely. Additionally, you should check to see there is enough rinse aid and increase the dosage to see if that helps.
- The cleaning quality is poor
- Once again this could be related to incorrect loading.
- Cloudy glassware
- Limescale builds up in areas with hard water. It is recommended to experiment with the dosage of rinse aid your appliance is dispensing until you find a setting which suits your requirements.
- Rusted cutlery
- Generally speaking this happens when the cutlery has been in contact with acid/salt for long periods of time i.e. tomato ketchup or lemon juice.
- Not draining water
- This one is much harder to diagnose without the attention of a Service Engineer. Anything from a kinked drain hose to a clogged filter or faulty drain pump can be the root of the cause.
