circular dots flashing around the timed area

I suddenly have flashing dots going around the area where it shows how much time is left for drying. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Similar to the above and dots move in a circle.

The dryer is working properly.

What does it mean if it’s doing that same thing on my Samsung washer

Did you ever figure out what it is for a washer?

This is true for a Samsung dryer and may work for you:

Rotating blinking lights in the display is probably an indication that the Wrinkle Prevent option has been selected. Wrinkle Prevent will continue to tumble the dryer without heat after the cycle has ended to help prevent wrinkles from setting in. When this option is selected by pressing the Wrinkle Prevent button on the control panel, the display will count down the estimated cycle time; when the cycle ends, the display will show lights blinking in a circular (or actually rectangular) motion.

To deactivate, simply press the Wrinkle Prevent button again so the light is not illuminated.

Wow! Thanks so much for this much needed advice. We had the same question and happen to also have a Samsung dryer and that is exactly what it was. Thank you for posting that answer which saved us a lot of time and headache:)

Thank you! I had the same problem and thought oh no! Do I need to call a repairman? This was indeed the problem. It must have been pushed by accident and we didn’t even realize it.
