Error Code: EXTRA DRY SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Indicates that the Extra Dry option is selected, which uses a higher temperature during the final rinse and a longer drying phase.
How to Fix EXTRA DRY SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Understand that this symbol indicates the ‘Extra Dry’ feature is active, which improves drying results.
- This option is selected before starting a wash cycle and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- If you wish to deactivate it for the next load, press the ‘Extra Dry’ button to turn the light off.
- If you want to use it, press the button to enable the feature before you start the wash.
- This function increases the final rinse temperature and extends the drying time, which is normal.
- 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.
