What to do if excessive foam remains after a wash cycle

1. Set the rinse aid level to L0.

2. Do not put detergent in the detergent dispenser. Instead, place a bowl with 200ml to 300ml of milk in the middle of the upper rack.

  • Operating the dishwasher with milk inside helps to reduce foam.
Put 200ml milk in the center of the top storage compartment.

3. Run the dishwasher on [Normal] cycle.

  • Bubbles may still remain after following these steps as the composition of detergents and rinse aids vary by brand.
    If foam still remains, repeat the above steps.

4. Once the cycle is finished, you can set the rinse aid level back to how it was.

Has bE occurred only once or sporadically?

➔ If you use a detergent that generates a lot of bubbles, bE may occur sporadically depending on how dirty the dishes are.

If you use an eco-friendly type 1 detergent or a large amount of detergent, excessive bubbles may be generated and bE may be displayed.
Change the type of detergent (to the recommended one) or reduce the amount of detergent.
