Error Code: SHINE & DRY SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: An option that uses more water during the rinse cycle and extends the drying phase to prevent watermarks and improve drying results.
How to Fix SHINE & DRY SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Notice the Shine & Dry symbol on the control panel. This is an optional setting you can select, not an error message.
- Understand that this function improves the drying performance, especially for plastics, and enhances the shine on glassware.
- To activate this option, first select your desired main wash program (e.g., Auto, Normal, Heavy).
- Before starting the cycle, press the button corresponding to the Shine & Dry symbol. An indicator light will usually confirm it has been selected.
- Be aware that selecting this option will increase the final rinse temperature and extend the drying phase, which may increase the overall cycle time and energy consumption.
- If you do not need enhanced drying for a particular load, simply do not select the option after choosing your main program.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
