Error Code: BRUSH SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The dishwasher is currently in the washing cycle.
How to Fix BRUSH SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Identify the ‘Brush’ symbol on your dishwasher’s display. This light is a normal indicator.
- Understand that this symbol means the dishwasher is actively washing your dishes. It is not an error code.
- The light will remain illuminated throughout the main washing and rinsing portions of the cycle.
- It is important not to open the dishwasher door while this light is on, as hot, pressurized water is being sprayed inside.
- The light will typically turn off when the washing phase is complete and the dishwasher moves into the drying phase or finishes the cycle.
- No action is required from you when you see this symbol; it is simply providing the status of the current wash cycle.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
