Error Code: SQUARE WITH CIRCLE AND TWO DOTS Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Normal drying at a regular temperature.
How to Fix SQUARE WITH CIRCLE AND TWO DOTS Error (Step-by-Step)
- Locate this symbol on your dryer’s control panel. It indicates the ‘Normal’ or ‘Cottons’ drying setting, which uses a standard heat level.
- This is a standard cycle indicator, not an error message. It is intended for drying durable fabrics like cotton towels, jeans, and bedding.
- To activate this cycle, first power on the dryer and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Rotate the main program dial to a cycle designed for robust fabrics, such as ‘Cottons’ or ‘Regular’.
- On models with a separate temperature selection, ensure the medium or high heat option (often indicated by this two-dot symbol) is selected.
- Place your regular laundry load into the drum, ensure the door is securely closed, and press the ‘Start’ button to run the normal drying cycle.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
