Error Code: QUICK/EXPRESS CYCLE SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Signifies a shorter wash cycle for lightly soiled dishes.
How to Fix QUICK/EXPRESS CYCLE SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Identify the Quick/Express Cycle symbol on your dishwasher’s control panel. It often looks like a clock with an arrow or a similar speed-related icon.
- Understand that this is not an error, but a selectable wash cycle designed for lightly soiled dishes, glasses, and cutlery that do not have dried-on food.
- To use this cycle, first load your dishwasher with the lightly soiled items.
- Press the power button and then select the Quick/Express Cycle button.
- Add the appropriate amount of detergent for a light load.
- Close the dishwasher door and press the Start button to begin the shorter wash cycle.
- Be aware that this cycle uses less water and energy, and has a shorter drying time, so it may not be suitable for heavily soiled pots and pans.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
