Recognize this symbol as the standard ‘Start/Pause’ indicator. It does not signal a problem.
If the symbol is steadily lit, it means the drying cycle is currently in progress.
If the symbol is flashing, it means the cycle has been paused.
To resume a paused cycle, simply press the ‘Start/Stop’ button one time.
To end the cycle completely, press and hold the ‘Start/Stop’ button for three to five seconds until the display resets.
No repair or action is needed if the dryer is operating as expected.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
