Error Code: IRON DRY SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The dryer is in the ‘Iron Dry’ mode, leaving clothes slightly damp for easier ironing.
How to Fix IRON DRY SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Understand that this is a feature, not an error. The ‘Iron Dry’ setting leaves clothes slightly damp to make ironing easier.
- If you want drier clothes, press the power button to ensure the dryer is on.
- Look for a button on the control panel labeled ‘Drying Level’, ‘Dryness’, or an icon with multiple suns.
- Press this button repeatedly to cycle through the available dryness levels.
- Watch the display panel as you press the button. You will see indicators for ‘Damp Dry’, ‘Iron Dry’, ‘Cupboard Dry’ (or ‘Normal’), and ‘Cupboard Dry+’ (or ‘Extra Dry’).
- Stop pressing the button when the indicator for ‘Cupboard Dry’ or ‘Cupboard Dry+’ is lit for fully dried laundry.
- Press the ‘Start’ button to begin the cycle with the new setting.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
