Safe first steps
- Ensure that you have selected the correct wash program for your dishes. If you are washing delicate items, confirm that the P12 program is active.
- Check the dishwasher's loading to ensure that delicate items are placed securely and not touching each other to prevent breakage during the wash cycle.
- If the P12 error code appears unexpectedly during a wash cycle, stop the dishwasher and check for any blockages in the spray arms or filters that may affect performance.
- If you find any blockages, carefully remove them and restart the dishwasher. If the error persists, consider arranging a service visit to check for deeper issues.
When to stop
- Stop if you notice any unusual noises or leaks during operation — risk of flooding or mechanical injury.
