Samsung washing machine icons
There are so many icons which show on the control panel of the Samsung washing machine. But there are 11 useful icons which you should know right now because these icons show on the control panel of the Samsung washers frequently.
Some of the popular Samsung washing machine icons are as follows:
Garment+
The t-shirt with a + icon indicates you can pause the cycle to add more clothing.
Some front-load washers have an Addwash door which makes it even easier to add more clothing during a cycle.
Child Lock
The child’s smiley face icon or a padlock with a smiley face icon representing Child Lock is turned on.
All buttons other than the Power button and the control knob are disabled when the child lock is ON. On some models, the door also locks.
Delay start
The clock icon indicates Delay Start is enabled in the washing machine.
A cycle is prepped to start at the specified time. To set the delay start Press the Delay End button repeatedly until the delay time is set.
Door lock
The padlock without a smiley face or key icon indicates the door is locked.
The door locks when a cycle is in progress or when it is not safe to open the door. So don’t try to open the door while this icon is showing on the control panel.
Time remaining
The hour-glass icon indicates that a timed cycle is in progress.
And the number displayed on the display control panel is the time remaining in the completion of the cycle set.
Signal OFF
The slashed speaker or slashed ring bell icon indicates signal sounds (that occur at the end of a cycle) are turned off.
This indicates the silent mode of the Samsung washing machine.
Pure cycle or Self clean
The sparkly washer tub icon will display after a certain number of washes. This icon may vary slightly in different models based on the size of the washing machine.
You do not need to run a Pure Cycle or Self Clean cycle immediately, Samsung recommends that you run one at your earliest opportunity.
Extra rinse
The basin of water with a + icon indicates the Extra Rinse option is turned ON in the washer.
Extra Rinse adds additional time to the rinse portion of the cycle, to more thoroughly remove laundry additives and perfumes.
Steam
The two clouds of vapour icon indicate the Steam option is turned ON in the washing machine.
Steam is used for heavily soiled, colourfast garments, to improve stain treatment and use less water in a cycle.
Interior lamp
The light bulb icon indicates the lamp is turned ON inside the washing machine.
You can also turn it off from the Samsung washer control panel itself.
Smart control
The Wi-Fi icon indicates the washer is connected to both the home’s Wi-Fi and SmartThings.
On models that are stacked with a Multi-Control Kit, a W or D will indicate whether it is the washer or dryer that is connected.
