Each program in the washing machine runs for a certain time. But there are situations when the user needs to urgently stop the washing process. Most often, after loading, a thing is found that also needs to be washed. Or you realize that you have not cleared your pockets of change, keys and other items. A small part stuck in the drum can completely stop the operation of the AGR.
How to save the situation
If you need to get something out of the drum or you have set the wrong mode by mistake, you need to know how to cancel the program on the washing machine. Stick to general guidelines.
First option. In many SM models, the “Start” key also performs the “Pause” function. Press the button once to stop working. After waiting a little while the door lock is unlocked, you can report the linen or pull out a forgotten item.
When opening the door, make sure that the washer has not yet taken on water, otherwise it will spill onto the floor. If the water has reached a significant level, then it must be drained using a drain filter.
The second option. A complete reset of the washing machine program is also performed by pressing the “Start” or “Pause” key. In this case, you need to hold the button for 5 seconds. So you can reset the error on the Bosch washing machine. Depending on the settings of the washer, you will get the following result:
- The water drained, the door unlocked.
- The water did not drain, but the lock still unlocked.
If there is a lot of water in the tank, drain it through the filter. To do this, open a small hatch at the bottom of the front panel. Behind it is a filter. Substitute the container and unscrew the filter.
Sudden power outage
It happens that during operation, the washing machine turns off the electricity. Or the users themselves decided the question of how to reset the errors and stop the machine by disconnecting from the network. This approach is unacceptable, as well as turning off the voltage supply in principle. Modern models are equipped with a memory, which, after the supply of electricity, allows you to resume the settings. But in earlier washing machines there is no such function – if you do not want to get problems with the electronic module, use other ways to stop the CMA.
Individual approach
There are certain models of machines in which the manufacturer has provided special methods for an urgent stop. Consider how to reset the program on the Indesit washing machine. Depending on the selected model, the pause or stop button of the program may be indicated by a rhombus. Therefore, hold down the key for a few seconds.
- Another option is to turn the mode selector switch to its original position. If there is still water in the drum, turn on the spin or drain mode.
When carrying out these actions, pay attention to whether the LEDs on the control unit are on. If nothing happened, there was probably an error.
How to reset program settings on a washing machine LG, Samsung, Ariston? Earlier models were equipped with a mode selector switch, and they did not have the “Start” and “Stop” buttons. To start resetting the washing machine program, return the toggle switch to its original position.
Then follow these steps:
- Hold down the On/Off key for five seconds.
- After 30 seconds, start the washing machine again by turning on the desired program.
If you need to open the door, empty the tank after stopping the program, otherwise the door will not unlock.
Basically, the recommendations relate to washing machines of earlier years of production. In modern SM models, when you press the “Reset Program” key, the water drains on its own.
SMA dependent
How to reset the program when the system is “hanging” and the keys do not respond to pressing? Reboot will help. To do this, unplug the machine from the mains for 15-20 minutes. Now plug it in and try running the program again. Now you know how to restart the machine. If you need to return the washing machine to factory settings, you may need the help of a wizard, because there will be work with electronics. But such situations occur infrequently, so try restarting the washer first to deal with a critical situation on your own.
