How to turn off the washing machine during washing

Each program in automatic washing machines is designed for a certain operating time. Moreover, during operation, the door is automatically locked. Sometimes users need to urgently interrupt or stop the execution of the program. How to stop the washing machine during washing and deal with this or that situation? All this will tell our short review. To learn how to quickly identify faults and fix them, we recommend that you study our reviews on washing machine error codes, for example, "Indesit washing machine errors".

Need to complete the wash quickly

When does it become necessary to quickly interrupt the program and finish the wash? The most common reasons are the detection of unwanted items in the drum and the discovery of forgotten items outside the machine that should have gone to the wash. In order to stop the program, we can use a variety of techniques.

The easiest way to stop the machine is to press the start/pause button. Pressing once will cause the washing program to be temporarily suspended. After that, you need to wait until the door lock is released and perform the necessary actions, for example, report the laundry or remove foreign objects from the drum.

At this stage, we need to be aware that when the program is stopped, the tank of the machine may already be filled with water. And if we open the door, it will rush to the floor, flooding the bathroom or kitchen (and at the same time the neighbors below).If the machine needs to be paused, you should make sure that the water level in it is below the level of the lower edge of the loading hatch (some older models draw water up to almost half of the entire tank).

Is the water level in the drum too high? Then it must first be merged - this will be discussed in the corresponding section of our article.
You can stop washing by completely interrupting the program To do this, press and hold the start/pause button for a few seconds. This approach will help to completely stop the execution of the current program. Then the situation can go in two ways:

• After stop machine does not drain water and unlock the door;
• After stopping the machine, it completely drains the water and also unlocks the door.

That is, further behavior depends on washing machine logic, embedded by the manufacturer. If the water has not drained, we can activate the appropriate program and wait for the complete removal of water from the drum.

Suddenly there was a power outage

If the machine has stopped due to a power outage, after the power is restored, washing will continue from where it left off. But this is in theory, but in practice it turns out that some machines are deprived of memory. There are also instances that remember the place of the forced program only for a while.The greatest surprise is caused by devices that pause or remember the washing stage for only a few minutes, after which they completely interrupt the program. Why this was done is anyone's guess.

Need to turn off the machine

Have you suddenly found coins, nails, paper clips or some foreign objects in the drum that have fallen out of the pockets of a washable shirt? How to turn off the washing machine and quickly stop the program? Do not unplug the power cord – just press and hold the start/pause button, wait for the program to turn off and start the spin program while choosing to cancel the spin. If there is a drain program, select it.
As soon as one of the above programs stops its work, the loading door will be unlocked and you will be able to get foreign objects out of the car.

The machine is stuck

Has your washing machine stopped responding to controls? Is the drum stuck in place and not spinning? In this case you need to completely disconnect the device from the electrical network and wait about 10-15 minutes. A long disconnection from the power source will reset the stuck program and return the machine to normal operation. After that, we try to restart. If this does not help, we call the wizard - it is quite possible that the control module has failed for some reason.

How to drain water from a switched off washing machine

What to do if there is still water in the car, and when you open the door, it will certainly flood the floors? In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the water drains through the filter.located behind the hinged door at the bottom front of the washing machines. And in order for it not to flood the floors, we substitute some low capacity here. You can also use a rubber tube with a plug located next to the filter to drain.

The most correct way to remove water is with the help of spin or drain programs. Their work takes no more than 10 minutes (the drain program is even less), but the tank will be completely empty.
