How to Fix REMOTE START SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)

Locate the illuminated remote start symbol on your dryer’s display, indicating it’s ready for remote operation via an app.
To disable this mode directly on the appliance, simply press the ‘Remote Start’ button on the control panel.
The indicator light for remote start should turn off and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Alternatively, you can open the associated mobile app on your smartphone.
Navigate to the dryer controls within the app and find the option to deactivate or turn off the remote start feature.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
