Error Code: AUTO CYCLE SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The automatic wash cycle is selected.
How to Fix AUTO CYCLE SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Recognize that the ‘Auto Cycle’ symbol simply indicates the currently selected wash program.
- This is a normal operational light and does not signify an error with your dishwasher.
- The ‘Auto’ cycle uses sensors to determine the soil level of your dishes and automatically adjusts the water temperature and wash time for optimal cleaning.
- If you wish to select a different cycle, press the ‘Cycle’ or ‘Program’ button on your dishwasher’s control panel.
- Continue to press the button until the light for your desired cycle (e.g., ‘Heavy’, ‘Normal’, ‘Express’) is illuminated.
- Once you have selected a new cycle, press the ‘Start’ button to begin the wash.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
