The short answer
The DWT family is a built-in dishwasher platform sold by Blomberg, and the models in the table below share the build that makes these faults behave alike. The dominant complaint is water left standing in the tub.
Problems on these models
- Water standing over the filter at the end of a cycle — A shallow film in the sump is normal; water above the filter rim is not, and it stops the cycle advancing. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-dishwasher-dwt-dishwasher-drainage-failure
- Water at the toe kick or a wet line down the door — Dry the floor and watch which point wets first; the cabinet carries water forward from anywhere behind. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-dishwasher-dwt-dishwasher-water-leak
- Dead panel, or a lit panel that refuses to run — Whether the panel lights at all decides everything: dark is supply, lit is the latch. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-dishwasher-dwt-dishwasher-wont-start
- Dishes come out gritty, filmed or still wet — Look at the lower rack first: grit there means flow has dropped rather than detergent having failed. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-dishwasher-dwt-dishwasher-cleaning-performance
Problem classes by frequency
- Water left standing in the tub — Most reported on this family: usually a blocked sump rather than a dead pump on these models.
- Water on the floor — Next, rarer but the most urgent of the four, because the floor takes the damage before you notice.
- A machine that will not start a cycle — Next, usually settled at the latch or the breaker rather than at the board.
- Dishes coming out dirty, filmed or still wet — Least reported here: the cleaning complaints owners of this family report most, because the filter stack needs attention more often than they expect.

| Dishes come out gritty, filmed or still wet | least reported |
What is owner-fixable
Everything reachable with the door open is owner work here. The moment a job needs the machine out of its cabinet, or testing that has to be done with the power on, it is a service call.
Generalized information
This page generalizes over every model in the table above and goes no further down than family level. No per-model page exists yet, so the table is where any difference between them is recorded.
