Restarting the washing machine
Rebooting or restarting your washing machine may be necessary for various reasons. However, not many people know how to reset a washing machine.
In addition, many people are interested in whether it is possible to restart the program at all; will this affect the operation of the equipment? Let's look at all this in more detail.
Why do you need to restart the machine?
Please note that within the scope of this article By the term “reboot” we will only mean restarting the washing machine program. We will not talk about reloading the machine with laundry by weight, so as not to confuse the reader. So, restarting the washing machine may be necessary in a number of cases:
- most often the washing machine is restarted when there is a foreign object in the machine that they forget to take out of their pockets, or when children put toys in the drum; in general, a quick stop of the machine and restarting the program are required;
- some require a restart when something needs to be added to the machine;
- sometimes it is necessary to change the selected program, for example, you needed to set a delicate wash for woolen items, and you accidentally selected the “Cotton 70” mode0", after this, woolen items will definitely become unusable, so you can’t do without a restart;
- A reboot is also needed if the machine stops during the washing process due to a power outage. Some models of washing machines will continue washing after turning on the power and you can do without rebooting;
- and finally, rebooting the machine may be necessary in case program freezes washing, when the machine stops responding to signals, wash and spin clothes.In some cases, such a malfunction is solved by rebooting the system board.
Reboot instructions
Most washing machines do not have a reset button; usually the function of this button is performed by the button that starts the program. Just do not confuse this button with the button to turn the machine on and off.
Important! Before any manipulations with the washing machine, refer to the instructions; restarting may not be carried out in the same way on different models of machines.
So, if you need to turn off the machine in order to change the washing mode, then you need to:
- hold the program start button for 3-5 seconds;
- wait until the car stops; some car models drain the water before stopping;
- carefully select the required mode;
- add powder to the product compartment if necessary;
- press the start button.
If there is a need to remove something from the drum of the machine or, on the contrary, to report it, then restarting the machine will also be accompanied by draining the water. First, by pressing the program start button for a few seconds, you need to stop the machine, and then drain the water in one of the following ways:
- through a special hose near the drainage filter;
- through a drain filter;
- select the spin mode with the “No spin” function turned on, in 1-2 minutes the washing machine will drain the water and stop, the door will unlock.
If you drained the water yourself, then you need to turn off the machine by first pressing the power button, and then unplug the power cord from the network. Depending on the machine model, after 5-10 minutes the door will unlock and open. After the required item has been retrieved or reported, the launch is carried out using the usual manipulations.
Important! Do not unplug the power cord if you need to restart the washing machine without first turning it off. This can not only block the equipment, but also lead to breakdown and malfunction of the system board, and this is an expensive repair.
In the event of a power outage, you need to unplug the power cord from the outlet so that if there is a power surge while the power is supplied, the control board does not burn out while the machine is turned on. When the power returns, you can turn the machine back on. If the program was not automatically reset, the machine will continue washing. In some cases, when turned on, the machine begins to drain water and stops, after which it will be possible to start the mode again.
If the washing machine has stopped due to an internal failure and does not respond to pressing the buttons on the control panel, then perhaps unplugging it for a while will help solve the problem. As a result of rebooting the system board, you can try to turn on the machine again. But you shouldn’t resort to this method all the time; it’s better to contact a specialist who will accurately diagnose the equipment and identify the malfunction, if any.
Thus, restarting the washing machine is a snap. We have outlined the general instructions for you, but we still recommend that you read the instructions for your machine. Good luck!

Thank you, good people, for posting the video. Otherwise, I, a single mother, would have already gone broke on repairs.
You guys really helped out!
I didn’t think that I would find instructions for this machine (neighbors), but I found it the first time.
Please advise! BOSCH maxx5 machine (10 years). After the water supply fitting broke, the plumber placed the machine on the hatch with the laundry. When I fixed the problem, I turned on the spin cycle. The machine began pumping out water and began spinning the drum. On the monitor, the glowing numbers “12-00 min” were replaced by “0”. I turned off the washing machine and put some of the laundry away. The display does not turn on, the modes do not start, only the pump works and that’s it. Tell me what to watch? Sincerely!
The Play button is flashing. The car is standing. How to restart?
Help is needed. Washing machine Rosenlew rtt 4350. How to restart it?
Washing machine Indesit WISE8. It works fine in all programs, but at the end of the wash the display shows 001 minutes. And the lock icon is on and does not go out, but the door opens. The “END” icon does not light up.
Throw it away
Thank you very much for the good advice! God bless you. I thought the car was a mess after it was flooded by the neighbors.

What to do if all the lamps on SMA Hans 212 come on? Rebooting via start-pause doesn't work? Please.
After turning off the electric Hans's Dynamic System Aquafresh car freezes due to energy: the end button is lit and if you turn on a new program, the Ready button lights up and flashes, while the end light is on. Tell me, please, what to do?
Washing machine Vestel f2wm 841. Failure in all programs: for example, “Quick wash” - drain water for 5 seconds, drain water for another 5 seconds, add water, rotate the drum 2 times for 3-4 seconds at maximum spin speed, drain water , pause 2 minutes, door open, wash finished. Only the spin mode works normally.
What to do? The washing machine froze. It only washes, does not drain the water. Something with the program, probably. I set it to drain mode, it still erases. I don't know how to drain the water. And I’ve already rebooted, but the program still doesn’t switch. Hoover machine. Vertical loading. Tell me, what's the matter?
