Reset the washing machine program

The owners of an automatic washing machine are so used to trusting laundry to their “home helper” that they relax and often make rather dangerous mistakes: they put clothes in their pockets that have telephones, passports, money or something else valuable in their pockets, they put it by mistake white linen along with colored and the like. In order not to damage your property, you must quickly reset the washing program and stop the machine. How to do this, let's figure it out!

How to stop a typewriter program: general approaches

If you accidentally chose the wrong program or the machine freezes and cannot execute the program, then knowledge of resetting the washing machine program may come in handy. In fact, there is nothing tricky in this operation. Moreover, in most cases for this you need to perform the same, universal procedure, which is suitable for almost all brands of washing machines. Consider this order.

• Press the button responsible for the "start" and "stop" of the washing program.
• Wait until the machine responds to user intervention and stops the washing process.
• Then we press this button again, only this time it needs to be held for about 5 seconds.
• Modern machines of the brand Indesit, Samsung, Bosch and others, while holding this button, begin to drain the water, and then turn off.
• Older cars do not drain water, but simply turn off.

Important! If you managed to reset the program, and the machine turned off, but the water remained in the tank, you need to drain the water manually. To do this, take a flat container, open the niche where the trash filter is, and uncork a small hose located next to the large filter plug.

Some users, perplexed, ask the question, they say, why poke some buttons, when you can just turn off the washing machine by unplugging the plug from the outlet? In this case, the washing machine will really turn off, but whether it will reset the program is a big question. For quite some time, washing machines have been equipped with control modules that are able to remember the last wash program in the event of a power outage, therefore, experts question this method.

In addition, there is another reason why you should not try to reset the washing program by de-energizing the washing machine. A sharp blackout can damage the control board, especially if there are problems with the surge protector. A sharp shutdown of a running machine is always a risk, so if you are ready to risk your "home assistant", continue to solve all problems with electronics by turning off the device. If you value household appliances, listen to the advice of specialists.

How to stop the Indesit machine?

Now we will consider particular cases of resetting washing programs on specific models of washing machines. The above method is certainly good, but it is not suitable for all machines. Indeed, some on the control panel do not have a start / stop button, and for some, the manufacturer has provided its own way to stop and reset the program. Consider, for example, a method for resetting a program on Indesit washing machines.

Typically, on washing machines, the start / stop button is indicated by two vertical sticks and a filled triangle. For other designations of the buttons of Indesit machines, read the article signs on the washing machine. On older Indesit typewriters, this button has limited functionality and looks different - it's a rhombus with one vertical stick in the center. To start the washing program, the user must turn the control switch, select the desired mode and press this button. How to reset the program on the Indesit machine?

1. Click on the button with the rhombus and hold it for a few seconds.
2. If everything is working properly, the program should stop.
3. On even older models of washing machines, you must additionally turn the program selector to the neutral position.

Note! Before successfully resetting the wash program, all the lights on the control panel of the Indesit washing machine should blink green, if this does not happen, then there is a malfunction.

How to stop cars LG, Samsung, Hotpoint-Ariston?

On very old models, the LG and Samsung washers did not have a “start / stop” button, so washing programs were launched by setting the mode by turning the toggle switch. Rarely did anyone have such cars, since they stopped producing them already about 25 years ago, but what’s most interesting, even despite their venerable age, these "home helpers" are well preserved and work. On some Ariston machines, there is the same problem - there is no start / stop button. How to reset the program safely if there is no such button?

• Return the toggle switch to the neutral position.
• Press and hold the on / off button.
• After turning off the machine, wait 30 seconds, and then turn it on and set the desired program.

Some models of modern washing machines LG and Samsung have a special button "reset the program", which greatly simplifies the life of the user. You can click on it at any stage of the execution of the washing program, and the machine itself will take measures aimed at an immediate stop, including draining water and then opening the hatch.

Summing up, we note that resetting the washing program is not difficult at all, the main thing is to know the technical features of your model of washing machine, and for this, read the user manual carefully. The main thing is in no case to disconnect the machine from the mains - this rash action can harm the control board.
