Problem: The intensive or heavy-duty cycle is selected.

How to Fix INTENSIVE/HEAVY CYCLE SYMBOL (POT) Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Locate the symbol of a pot on your dishwasher’s display. This indicates that the ‘Intensive’ or ‘Heavy’ duty wash cycle is selected.
2. This is a normal operational symbol and not an error code.
3. This cycle is specifically designed for cleaning heavily soiled items, such as pots, pans, and casseroles with baked-on food.
4. It uses higher water temperatures and increased spray pressure to remove tough grime.
5. If you have selected this cycle by mistake for a load of lightly soiled or delicate items, you can cancel it. Press and hold the ‘Start/Reset’ button for approximately 3 seconds.
6. Once the cycle is canceled, you can choose a more suitable program for your dish load.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
