How to Fix SQUARE WITH CIRCLE AND ONE DOT Error (Step-by-Step)
- This symbol, found on clothing tags, means the item should be tumble dried on a low heat setting.
- This is a care instruction, not a dryer malfunction and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- To follow this instruction, first load your delicate items into the dryer and close the door.
- Turn the program selection dial to a suitable cycle, such as ‘Delicates’, ‘Synthetics’, or a timed program.
- Next, locate and press the button for ‘Low Heat’ or ‘Gentle’. An indicator light or a symbol on the display will confirm it’s activated.

- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
