Error Code: INTENSIVEZONE SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: An option that increases spray pressure and temperature in the lower basket for heavily soiled pots and pans, while the upper basket receives a standard wash.
How to Fix INTENSIVEZONE SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Observe the ‘IntensiveZone’ symbol on the control panel. This indicates a specialized wash option has been activated.
- This is a feature, not a fault. It creates two distinct cleaning zones within the dishwasher.
- The lower basket receives a more intense wash with higher spray pressure and temperature, ideal for heavily soiled pots and pans.
- Simultaneously, the upper basket receives a standard, gentler wash suitable for glasses and plates.
- To turn this feature off, simply press the ‘IntensiveZone’ button before starting the dishwasher.
- If the cycle is already running, let it complete. Remember to deselect the option for future loads if you are washing similar items in both racks.
- 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.
Most DIY parts are $50–$250. If you have a quote, use the total.
