Error Code: PERFECTDRY Difficulty: Easy
Problem: A drying system that uses Zeolith minerals to absorb moisture and convert it into warm air for improved drying results, especially on plastic items.
How to Fix PERFECTDRY Error (Step-by-Step)
- See the ‘PerfectDry’ light or symbol on your dishwasher’s control panel. This is an indicator of an active feature, not an error.
- This symbol means your dishwasher is using its advanced Zeolith drying technology.
- The system uses natural Zeolith minerals to absorb moisture from the wash cycle and convert it into warm, dry air.
- This warm air is then circulated throughout the tub, resulting in superior drying performance, especially for plastic items.
- This feature is automatic and engages with certain cycles to ensure your dishes, including plastics, come out exceptionally dry.
- No action is needed. The dishwasher is operating as designed to provide the best possible drying results.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
