Error Code: HALF LOAD SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Allows for running a wash cycle with a smaller load to save water and energy.
How to Fix HALF LOAD SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- This symbol shows that the ‘Half Load’ option is active.
- This feature is useful when you only have a few dishes to wash, as it uses less water and energy.
- To use this option, load the dishes (it’s often recommended to use the top rack, but check your model’s preference) and press the ‘Half Load’ button.
- The indicator light for the symbol will turn on and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Select your desired wash cycle and press ‘Start’ and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- To turn off the option for a full load, simply press the ‘Half Load’ button again before starting a cycle so the light goes out.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
