How to Fix CUPBOARD DRY SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)

This symbol is not an error, but an indicator of the selected drying program.
‘Cupboard Dry’ is a standard setting for cottons and linens.
It is designed to dry the laundry to a level where it can be immediately folded and stored in a cupboard.
No action is needed. The dryer is functioning as intended for the selected cycle.
If your clothes are not as dry as you would like, you can select a more intensive drying level next time, such as ‘Cupboard Dry Plus’.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
