Error Code: QUIET DRYING SYMBOL (FINGER ON LIPS) Difficulty: Easy
Problem: A program that reduces noise levels is active.
How to Fix QUIET DRYING SYMBOL (FINGER ON LIPS) Error (Step-by-Step)
- Identify the symbol of a finger on lips, which means a special quiet drying program is active.
- Note that this program uses lower fan speeds and temperatures to reduce noise, which may extend drying time.
- To switch to a standard, faster program, press the ‘Stop’ or ‘Cancel’ button.
- Turn the program selection dial away from the ‘Quiet Dry’ or ‘Super Silent’ setting.
- Choose a standard program like ‘Cottons’, ‘Synthetics’, or ‘Mixed Load’ for normal operation.
- Press the ‘Start’ button to begin the new, standard drying program.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
