Fault Code F11: Drainage Fault

Symptom:
Water present in appliance and is not being drained off.
See Table 080-3 for model-specific fault indications.
Background information:
After each drain pump step, the circulation pump operates for 2 seconds and
heater pressure switch B1/13 checks the water level. See Figure 080-8. If it is
too high (large quantity of residual water remaining in the cabinet), the
drainage time is extended. If, after a further check, the water level is still too
high, then the program is interrupted, the fault code is saved and the drain
pump is activated.

Cause:
Drain hose kinked.
Remedy:
Check the drain hose for correct positioning.
Cause:
Drain blocked.
Remedy:
Check for proper water flow from the drain line by performing the following
procedure:
1. Disconnect drain line from drain trap, garbage disposal, or drain pipe and
place in bucket or large container.
2. Ensure that adequate water is in the dishwasher cabinet. Select and start
a new wash program (first step should be a 30-second drain). Ensure that
the drain hose is held in place within the bucket or container.
3. If water flows from the drain hose, the dishwasher is not the cause of the
blockage. Blockage is in the piping and should be checked by a
