⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: TIME PROGRAMME SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The drying cycle has been set for a specific length of time.
How to Fix TIME PROGRAMME SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- This is a normal function and not an error code.
- If you prefer the dryer to stop automatically when it senses the clothes are dry, press the ‘Start/Stop’ button to pause the current cycle.
- Turn the main program dial to an automatic or sensor-based cycle, such as ‘Cottons’, ‘Permanent Press’, or ‘Delicates’.
- The time programme symbol will disappear, and the dryer will now use its moisture sensors.
- Press the ‘Start/Stop’ button to begin the new automatic cycle.
- 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.
Most DIY parts are $50–$250. If you have a quote, use the total.
