How to Fix SQUARE WITH CIRCLE AND TWO DOTS Error (Step-by-Step)

This symbol, seen on a garment’s care label, indicates that it is safe to tumble dry on a normal or regular heat setting.
This is a standard care instruction for durable fabrics and is not an error with your appliance.
To dry these items correctly, load them into the dryer and shut the door.
Use the main dial to select a standard program like ‘Cottons’, ‘Towels’, or ‘Mixed Load’.
Check the control panel to ensure that the ‘Low Heat’ or ‘Gentle’ option is NOT selected. The dryer will default to normal heat for these programs.
If the ‘Low Heat’ option is illuminated, press the button to turn it off.
Press the ‘Start’ button to run the cycle at the standard temperature.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

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