In the modern world, every home has a washing machine, which undoubtedly facilitates women's work and saves time. You can simply load dirty laundry into this unit, select the desired program and continue to go about your business. But in some cases, it is urgent to turn off the machine. This can happen if a dark one was loaded into the machine by mistake with white laundry, during washing, foreign objects were found in the device, to remove which it is necessary to stop the operation of the unit, open it and take out all excess. Another reason for restarting the washing machine is the incorrectly selected mode, which must be changed. In this review, we will look at how to reset a washing machine program if a malfunction occurs.

How to stop the program

There are times when, when choosing a washing mode, the program was chosen by mistake, or the machine freezes and is unable to correctly fulfill its intended purpose. If this happened, then you need to know the basic rules for resetting the selected program, capable of coping with the current situation. There is nothing difficult in this and basically it is necessary to follow the same rules, which are identical for washing machines of different models and brands. It is necessary:

Press the button that starts and stops the washing process.
Wait for the unit to stop.
After that, you must press this button again and wait 5 seconds.
Relatively recent models of machines of the brands Indesit, Samsung and Bosch, when holding the "start" button, drain the water and then turn off.
More outdated units are turned off without draining the water.

It should be noted that if, after all the manipulations carried out, the machine stopped, but did not drain the water, all the liquid must be drained manually. Some users believe that there is no need to press different buttons, because you can de-energize the washing machine. If you unplug the plug, the device will actually turn off, but not the fact that the previously selected washing program will be reset. This is due to the fact that developers have been equipping machines for a long time with technology that remembers the last selected washing mode if a power failure occurs. Therefore, this way of solving the problem is not suitable.

Experts also do not recommend resetting the program by turning off the washing machine for the reason that the unit may fail and, as a result, you will have to repair your assistant, which is not cheap or buy a new one.

How to stop or restart the Indesit washing machine

Let's take a closer look at resetting washing modes for individual models of washing machines. The method described above is not bad, but it is not suitable for all models of this type of household appliance, because some of them do not have a start-stop button. In this case, the developers have provided another way to stop and reset the wash settings.As for the Indesit brand, to start washing, you need to turn the toggle switch and when you select the desired program, press the button. To reset the program, you must:

Press "start" and hold it for several seconds.
The wash will stop.
On older models, you must also turn the toggle switch to neutral.

It should be noted that if the reset of programs on Indesit typewriters was successful, then all the lights should have glowed green and immediately go out. If there was no “blinking”, then there is a malfunction of the unit or some kind of error. Even if everything went right and successfully, the hatch may still not open due to the large amount of water.

Restarting is not changing the amount of laundry in the machine, but setting a new wash program. A reboot is required if:

A foreign object got inside the washing machine - a phone, change and other items in the pocket of your clothes.
The wrong mode has been selected and you need to restart the washing process.
The unit has stopped or there is a power failure.
The machine is frozen during washing - the machine does not respond to signals from the control panel.

To restart the washing machine of the Indesit brand, the developers do not provide a special button. This function falls on the button that starts the program.
To stop the washing machine in order to change the operating mode, you must do the following:

Hold down the button that starts the program for 5 seconds.
After the machine stops, select the required mode.
Add detergent again.
Switch on the program.

If it is necessary to change the weight of the laundry in the drum, drain the water using a special filter or spin mode.

On rather old models of washing machines from South Korean companies LG and Samsung, the start / stop button was absent, so the washing program was started with a toggle switch. But these units are already quite rare, but they still do a good job with their functions.

Modern washing machines from LG and Samsung have a button to reset the program. You can press it during washing, and the machine will do everything necessary (it will stop the operation of the unit, drain the water and even open the hatch).

In this article, we showed you how to reset your washing machine if necessary. Each device provides for such a possibility, which is fully described in the operating instructions and is of a private nature. The main thing to remember is that in no case should you disconnect the device from the mains, because this can lead to serious damage.
