Error Code: SQUARE WITH ONE HORIZONTAL LINE Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Dry flat; laundry should be laid out on a flat surface to dry.
How to Fix SQUARE WITH ONE HORIZONTAL LINE Error (Step-by-Step)
- Locate the symbol on the clothing tag, which is a square with a single horizontal line in the center.
- This symbol means the garment must be dried flat and should not be tumble dried or hung.
- After washing, gently squeeze excess water out of the garment, but do not twist or wring it.
- Find a clean, flat surface, such as a mesh drying rack or a thick, dry towel laid on the floor.
- Carefully lay the garment flat on the surface, arranging it into its correct shape.
- Use your hands to smooth out any large wrinkles or creases.
- Let the item air dry completely, turning it over after a few hours to ensure the other side dries evenly.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
