How to Fix Bosch Dishwasher Error DRYING SYMBOL

Error Code: DRYING SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Indicates that the dishwasher is in the drying phase of the wash cycle.

How to Fix DRYING SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Identify the ‘Drying’ symbol on your dishwasher’s display, which often looks like rays of sun or heat waves.
2. Understand that this is a normal operational light indicating the dishwasher has finished washing and is now in the drying portion of its cycle.
3. This symbol is not an error and requires no action from you.
4. The dishwasher may use a heating element or condensation drying. The door may be hot to the touch if a heating element is active.
5. Allow the dishwasher to complete the drying cycle for the best results. Opening the door early can result in wet dishes.
6. The light will turn off, and the dishwasher will typically signal with a beep, once the entire cycle is complete.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

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