Error Code: VARIOSPEED PLUS SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: An option that can reduce the cleaning time of a cycle significantly while maintaining cleaning and drying performance.
How to Fix VARIOSPEED PLUS SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Find the VarioSpeed Plus symbol on the control panel. This is a selectable option, not an error code.
- Understand that this function is designed to reduce the duration of most wash cycles by up to 66% while still delivering excellent cleaning and drying results.
- To use this feature, first choose a primary wash program like Auto, Normal, or Heavy Duty.
- After selecting the main program, press the VarioSpeed Plus button. The symbol will light up to indicate it is active.
- Be aware that in order to achieve the same cleaning results in less time, the dishwasher will use more water and energy.
- Press the Start button to begin the accelerated cycle. The new, shorter remaining time will be shown on the display.
- If you prefer to run the standard, more economical cycle, simply do not press the VarioSpeed Plus button after selecting your program.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
