Error Code: DRYING SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Indicates that the dishwasher is in the drying phase of the wash cycle.
How to Fix DRYING SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Identify the ‘Drying’ symbol on your dishwasher’s display, which often looks like rays of sun or heat waves.
- Understand that this is a normal operational light indicating the dishwasher has finished washing and is now in the drying portion of its cycle.
- This symbol is not an error and requires no action from you.
- The dishwasher may use a heating element or condensation drying. The door may be hot to the touch if a heating element is active.
- Allow the dishwasher to complete the drying cycle for the best results. Opening the door early can result in wet dishes.
- The light will turn off, and the dishwasher will typically signal with a beep, once the entire cycle is complete.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
