Error Code: COOL DOWN Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The appliance is in a cooling down process after a high-heat cycle to safely reduce internal temperatures.
How to Fix COOL DOWN Error (Step-by-Step)
- Understand that ‘Cool Down’ is a normal and automatic phase of the drying cycle.
- This process tumbles the clothes without heat to gradually cool them down.
- This helps to prevent heat-set wrinkles and makes the laundry safer to handle.
- The dryer door will remain locked during this phase for safety.
- Simply wait for the ‘Cool Down’ phase to complete on its own.
- Once finished, the dryer will signal that the cycle is over, and you can safely open the door to remove your items.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
