Detergent remains

Detergent remains in dispenser — Dispenser not emptying

Beko · Dishwashers

What does Detergent remains mean?

Detergent is still in the dispenser at the end of a wash cycle. This indicates that the detergent was not released or dissolved properly during washing.

Common Causes

  • Detergent dispenser was damp when adding detergent.
  • Detergent was added too long before the washing process started.
  • Opening of the detergent dispenser lid is prevented by dishes.
  • Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions (e.g., humid).
  • Impeller holes are clogged, preventing proper water spray.
