Error Code: SQUARE WITH TWO VERTICAL LINES Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Drip-dry; hang items on a line while still dripping wet.
How to Fix SQUARE WITH TWO VERTICAL LINES Error (Step-by-Step)
- Locate the symbol on the garment’s tag, which is a square that contains two vertical lines.
- This symbol means the item should be ‘drip-dried.’ and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- After washing, remove the garment from the machine while it is still soaking wet, without wringing, squeezing, or spin-drying it.
- Immediately hang the wet garment on a sturdy, non-staining hanger or clothesline.
- It is best to do this over a bathtub, in a shower, or outside, as a significant amount of water will drip out.
- The weight of the water will help pull out creases and wrinkles as the garment dries.
- Allow the item to hang undisturbed until it is fully dry.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
