Error Code: FRONT STATUS LIGHT: RED Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Drying in-progress.
How to Fix FRONT STATUS LIGHT: RED Error (Step-by-Step)
- Identify that a solid red light indicates the dishwasher is in the drying phase.
- Be aware that the heating element is active, and the inside of the dishwasher will be very hot.
- Do not open the door during this phase to ensure the best drying results and to avoid potential burns from steam.
- Wait for the cycle to finish completely and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- The light will turn solid white when the entire cycle, including drying, is finished.
- 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.
