To reset the Siemens iQ500 SN85TX00CE Dishwasher, press and hold the "Start" button for about 3 seconds until the LED display shows a reset or the appliance beeps. This will cancel the current cycle and clear any errors.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Ensure that the filter is clean and free of debris. Inspect the sink drain for blockages. If the problem persists, you may need to check the drain pump for obstructions.
To clean the filter, remove the lower dish rack and locate the filter assembly at the bottom. Twist the filter counterclockwise to remove it. Rinse it under warm water to remove debris and replace it by twisting it clockwise until secure.
Spots can be caused by hard water. Ensure that the rinse aid compartment is filled. Adjust the rinse aid dosage setting if necessary. Additionally, using a high-quality dishwasher detergent can help minimize spotting.
Place cutlery in the cutlery basket with handles facing down. Mix different types of cutlery to prevent nesting and ensure better cleaning. Avoid overloading the basket to allow water to circulate freely.
Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is full, as rinse aid helps with drying. Use the 'Extra Dry' option if available, and ensure that the dishwasher is not overloaded to allow air circulation.
Regularly clean the filter and spray arms, check and clean the door seals, and ensure the rinse aid and salt compartments are filled if necessary. Running an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner can also help maintain performance.
Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Check if the child lock is activated or if there is a delay start set. Verify that the dishwasher is properly connected to power and that the circuit breaker is not tripped.
Refer to the user manual to access the settings menu. Use the control panel to navigate to the water hardness setting and adjust it according to your local water supply hardness level.
Consult the user manual for the specific error code meaning. Common solutions include checking water supply, ensuring the door is closed, and clearing blockages. If the issue persists, contact Siemens customer support.
