Error Code: DELAY START SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Allows the user to set a delayed start time for a wash cycle.
How to Fix DELAY START SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Recognize that the ‘Delay Start’ symbol (often a clock icon) means a wash cycle has been programmed to start at a later time. This is a feature, not an error.
- The display will typically show the number of hours remaining until the cycle begins.
- If you wish to cancel the delay and start the wash immediately, you will need to reset the function.
- Press and hold the ‘Start’ button on your dishwasher for about 3 to 5 seconds.
- This action should cancel the ‘Delay Start’ setting and reset the dishwasher. The ‘Delay Start’ symbol should disappear from the display.
- You can now select your desired wash cycle and press ‘Start’ again to begin the cleaning process right away.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
