Why Häfele Dishwasher doesn't start?

  Larry HillAug 18, 2025
  Your Häfele Dishwasher might not be starting due to several reasons. It could be a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker; in this case, replace the fuse or reset the breaker, and avoid sharing the circuit with other appliances. Ensure the dishwasher is powered on, the door is securely closed, and the power cord is correctly plugged in. Low water pressure or an improperly closed door could also be the cause. Check the water supply and ensure the door is properly latched.

  Rust stains on cutlery in your Häfele Dishwasher can occur if the items aren't corrosion resistant; avoid washing such items in the dishwasher. It can also happen if a program wasn't run after adding dishwasher salt, leaving traces in the wash cycle; always run a wash program without any crockery after adding salt, and avoid using the Turbo function. Also, check that the softener lid is secure.

  To prevent foam in your Häfele Dishwasher, use only special dishwasher detergent to avoid suds. If foam occurs, open the dishwasher to let the suds evaporate. Add 1 liter of cold water to the bottom, close the door, and select any cycle. The dishwasher will drain the water. After draining, check if the suds have disappeared, repeating if necessary. Also, wipe up any spilled rinse-aid immediately.
