Error Code: LOW HEAT DRYING SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Gentle drying for delicate fabrics is activated.
How to Fix LOW HEAT DRYING SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- This symbol indicates that the ‘Low Heat’ or ‘Gentle’ drying option is selected, which is best for delicate fabrics like synthetics or silk.
- If your laundry consists of more robust fabrics like cotton or towels, you may want to turn this feature off for faster drying.
- Ensure the dryer is powered on and a cycle has been selected with the main dial.
- Locate the button on the control panel labeled ‘Low Heat’, ‘Gentle’, or with a feather icon.
- Press this button once to deactivate the low heat setting. The light on the button or the symbol on the display should turn off.
- If you accidentally turned it off for a delicate load, simply press the button again to reactivate the ‘Low Heat’ function.

- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
