How to reboot?
It is necessary to understand that resetting the settings of an automatic washing machine is an extreme measure, which should be resorted to only when other methods fail to return the washing machine to working capacity. If the automatic machine freezes in the middle of washing, you can try to reset the settings yourself and start the desired program again. The algorithm of actions will be as follows:
If the settings on the automatic machine have been reset, the indication on the control panel will turn green and go out after a second.
The case when the lamps do not flicker indicates a malfunction of the unit or you made a mistake when resetting the settings. If you cannot reset the program this way, you should start a complete reboot of the machine. It is performed as follows:
It happens that the Indesit washing machine does not respond to turning the programmer and pressing a button. Then you can skip these reboot steps and immediately turn off the power to the equipment. However, it should be remembered that if there is a sudden power cut while the machine is operating, there is a risk of failure of the main control unit.
How to clear a fault code
If it becomes necessary to reset washing machine errors, the situation is often corrected automatically after the problem is fixed.
Some models (Samsung, Hotpoint Ariston, Siemens) can be started successfully after fixing the problem and turning it on again. In other cases, you will need to reset the errors. The following methods will help you get the machine into working order:
- Press and hold the Start/Pause button. Be sure to wait for the sound signal or blinking indicators. Before performing such actions, you should understand the reason why the breakdown occurred, for example, Bosch, Samsung, LG, Hotpoint Ariston, Siemens machines.
- Resetting error codes by configuring the electronic module. This method is appropriate when the first method turned out to be ineffective. Please note that each washing machine has its own test mode, which is described in the instructions. By adhering to certain recommendations, in most cases it is possible to get the device working properly.

How to quickly drain water without turning on the equipment?
All actions must be performed as soon as possible. The sooner an important item is removed from the machine, the greater the chance of saving it. So, how to independently remove a forgotten item from the machine after starting the wash:
As soon as the drum is empty, the machine's hatch will unlock. If you can’t drain the liquid by starting the mode, you can do it yourself through a garbage filter. The filter element is located in the lower right corner of the washing machine, behind a special panel, on the front. Before unscrewing the filter, cover the floor under the device with rags and prepare a container to collect water.

The simplest fixes
What to do if the washing program that you constantly run has gone wrong? Firstly, you should not give in to panic, immediately call the service center, invite a technician to repair the equipment, or disassemble the machine yourself.
You can try to return the washing machine to working capacity:
So, first of all, you should reboot the equipment. First try turning off the machine by pressing the power button. Wait 20 seconds, then start the washing machine. Set the required washing mode. It was not possible to set the desired program, unplug the device from the outlet. Here you will have to wait a little longer - about 15-20 minutes. In some cases, a simple reboot of the washing equipment helps to cope with a failure of the washing mode.
In certain models of Indesit washing machines, test washing modes are programmed. Also, most washing machines are equipped with a self-diagnosis system for emerging problems. The manufacturer has provided these additions so that users can independently identify the cause of the failure. These programs will be able to solve the problem only in 10% of cases, since, after all, their direct purpose is to indicate a breakdown, and not to eliminate the malfunction.
The pause between switching operations should not be more than 3 seconds. After starting the test, the washing machine will display a fault code. Machines that are not equipped with a display will indicate an error by flashing indicators on the control panel. You can see the interpretation of errors in the user manual supplied with the equipment.
Resetting the program
Despite the fact that there are now a great many models of washing machines, they all have similar controls. A good manufacturer strives to make “communication” with its product clear and accessible. Before we look at the approach to machines of various brands, we will consider two universal ways to stop washing.
LG panel
First option
If one button is responsible for both “Start” and “Stop”, press it to stop the machine. Wait for the door to unlock; it usually occurs within a few seconds. If there is water in the drum, it needs to be drained: through a filter or manually (such models still remain). When you have loaded the drum properly, start a new wash.
Second option
Press the same button for a few seconds (5-10 is enough). The further scenario is the same as above: the water will drain and the door can be opened. If your machine does not have an automatic water drain, place the desired container under the drain valve and slowly unscrew it.
Basic reset methods
Methods for resetting a washing unit depend on the problem situation that has arisen. Listed below are the most common cases when resetting programs is indispensable.
Most people who use narrow washing machines are faced with this question: how to stop the operation of the household appliance in order to remove an extra item or add clothes? There are several options to suit all brands of SMA.
If you select the wrong program and want to change it, you need to urgently turn off the household appliance.
The second option for resetting the unit settings is associated with the control toggle switch on the programmer.
It often happens that the machine freezes and does not respond to controls.
If the washing machine generates an error, everyone rushes to contact the technician, but he is unlikely to tell you the secret of his work. You can fix the error yourself using the following algorithm:
When resetting a washing machine, we often forget about some important details.
De-energizing method: By removing the power plug from the socket, you will stop the washing machine from operating, but will not reset the program, because if the power is suddenly turned off using the control module, the machine retains the selected settings. But de-energizing the device during operation causes damage to the programmer. Instead of this method, hold down the play/pause button, wait for the program to reset and turn on the water drain.
How to stop the program
There are cases when, when choosing a washing mode, the program was selected incorrectly, or the machine freezes and is unable to correctly perform its intended purpose. If this happens, then you need to know the basic rules about resetting the selected program that can cope with the current situation. There is nothing complicated about this and basically you need to follow the same rules, which are identical for washing machines of different models and brands. Necessary:
- Press the button that starts and stops the washing process.
- You need to wait until the unit stops.
- After this, you need to press this button again and wait 5 seconds.
- Relatively recent models of machines from the brands Indesit, Samsung and Bosch drain the water when you hold the “start” button and then turn off.
- Older units turn off without draining water.
It is necessary to take into account that if after all the manipulations the machine stops but does not drain the water, all the liquid must be drained manually. Some users believe that there is no need to press different buttons, because they can turn off the power to the washing machine. If you remove the plug from the socket, the device will actually turn off, but it is not a fact that the previously selected washing program will be reset.
Experts also do not recommend resetting the program by turning off the power to the washing machine for the reason that the unit may fail and in the end you will have to repair your assistant, which is not cheap, or buy a new one.
We suggest you familiarize yourself with the washing machine pressure switch, water level sensor, problems, repairs
Electronic hardware defects
If the malfunction cannot be eliminated and the mode failure recurs, you need to check the control module and power wiring. First, you will have to disassemble the washing machine by removing the front wall of its body. This is necessary to gain free access to the main electronic unit. When the module is in sight, you should check all the contacts and wires one by one. It is better to start diagnostics with the “On/Off” button. If any element of the board is suspicious, it is advisable to replace it.
When it is not possible to cope with the causes of the malfunction even after such repairs, you will have to check the remaining parts of the automatic washing machine. Perhaps the problem lies in a failed washing element. We'll tell you what to do next.
The failure was caused by a broken part
Very often, failure of the programmed washing mode results from damage to the heating element. The system understands that it will not be possible to heat the water collected in the tank, so it does not start the program. However, in such a situation, a fault code should appear on the display of the washing machine. You can set the machine to work as before by replacing the failed heating element.
A faulty electric motor can cause the program to go wrong. It is recommended to entrust engine diagnostics and repairs to an experienced technician. A professional, after checking the element, will explain whether the motor can be repaired or needs to be replaced.
Another cause of failure could be a failed drain pump. The pump should be checked with a multimeter. If a malfunction of the pump is detected or its contacts with various sensors are broken, the damaged wiring, contacts or the pump sensor itself should be replaced as quickly as possible.
There are several reasons for user program failures on Indesit washing machines. Such a breakdown may indicate either short-term problems in the system, which can be resolved during a reboot, or serious damage to internal elements. You should start with simple ones, gradually moving on to more complex diagnostics.

Resetting an error on a washing machine
01.12.2018
Modern washing machines are equipped with a self-diagnosis system. If they detect a breakdown, they report it by flashing the indicators, if the control board does not have a screen, or by displaying an error code consisting of numbers and letters. Once the fault has been corrected, the message disappears. It often happens that even after repair, household appliances still continue to indicate a malfunction. To clear the code and continue using the device, you need to know how to reset the error on your washing machine.
How to reset an error on Bosch and Siemens washing machines
Resetting errors on a Bosch or Siemens washing machine can be done differently, depending on the model range and series to which the equipment belongs.
Bosch Classixx
To reset an error on a Bosch Classixx series washing machine, for example, Bosch Classixx 5, you must follow these steps:
- Press and hold the power button.
- Turn the program switch, which was in the off position, to the left by two programs without interrupting the previous action.
- Wait two seconds, release the power key.
- If the machine is equipped with a display, the duration of the program for which the selector is set will appear on the screen. If the equipment does not have a screen, all the lights will blink.
Bosch Maxx
To reset error codes on Bosch Maxx series washing machines, for example, Bosch Maxx 5, you need to take the following steps:
- Set the program selector to the off position.
- Select the “Spin” mode.
- Press and hold the spin speed selection button.
- Continuing to perform the previous action, turn the selector one position to the left, this is the “Drain” mode.
- Wait three seconds and remove your finger from the spin speed button.
- Use the selector to select a super-fast fifteen-minute program.
- Wait two seconds and turn the switch counterclockwise to select the “off” position.
How to restart an Indesit washing machine yourself
During operation of the automatic machine, a situation may arise that requires rebooting the device. The reasons can be very different: they forgot to report the item or saw a foreign object in the drum, the program “froze” and does not respond to controls. Owners may have a completely logical question: how to restart a washing machine? Since most SMAs do not have a “Reboot” button, you need to act based on the specific brand of automatic machine.
Therefore, before any manipulations with the equipment, it is important to read the operating instructions and study all the nuances.
However, some general rules for restarting washing machines still exist. Let's talk about them further. First, let’s take a closer look at the question of why reboot the automatic machine and how safe it is for the device.
How to reset a Samsung, Ariston and LG washing machine?
Old modifications of Korean washing machines did not have a start/stop button - the modes were started with a toggle switch. There are few such machines anymore - they have not been produced for a quarter of a century. But many of them still work - this is true Korean quality. How to reset without having the treasured button? The algorithm of actions is as follows:
A number of modifications from LG and Samsung have a button to reset programs - that’s what it’s called. This is the ideal solution for today. You can press it at any time during the process. After pressing, the device will act like this:
Why reboot SMA
A reboot of the SMA may be required in some cases. More often, the situation arises simply due to carelessness on the part of the user, sometimes due to the device freezing. Let's look at the most common cases that will require using the restart program.
As you can see, in most cases the need to restart an automatic machine is caused by the inattention of the owners who use the equipment. Manufacturers’ recommendations for operating household appliances cannot be ignored: sooner or later, systematic reboots will lead to the failure of your “assistant”.
Next, we’ll talk about how to restart SMA in a given situation.
A successful start, or how to properly start up a Samsung washing machine for the first time
A properly organized first launch of a Samsung washing machine is a guarantee that the household appliance will last as long as possible. It is not enough to simply press the start button.
In order for the washing machine to please you with the quality of washing, you need to prepare correctly: check the connection of the device, select the required program and temperature mode.
By strictly following the sequence of actions and following all the instructions for the first start-up, you can be sure that the desired purchase - a Samsung washing machine - will last a long time, delighting you with the cleanliness and freshness of the washed clothes.
Preparing the machine
Before starting the washing machine for the first time, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory measures:
- Check the connection quality. The rubber pipe is mounted to the outlet of the water supply, and the drain hose to the siphon or sewer.
- Remove the transport bolts (located on the rear panel of the household appliance).
A signal that this action item has been ignored will be the body vibrating during operation. The holes from the transportation bolts must be closed with special plugs (included with the washing machine). - Remove the protective film from the information display and the tape from the powder container and hatch.
- Check the washer drum for foreign objects.
- Place the washing machine on a perfectly flat and hard surface (the service life of the household appliance depends on the quality of this step). To do this, twist the legs of the washer to the desired height, and then fix it with a wrench.
You can check whether the washing machine is positioned correctly by pressing one by one on the corners of the body. On a flat, hard surface, the washing machine does not wobble and is difficult to move.
Step-by-step washing instructions
The preparations are complete, you can safely start starting the Samsung washing machine for the first time:
- Close the hatch door (a characteristic click indicates that the lock has been activated and the machine is ready to start washing).
- A minimum amount of washing powder is poured into a special receiver (it is important that the product is intended for automatic washing machines).
- Set the program with the longest washing time, the water heating temperature is 60°C. There is no need to disable the “spin” option. The washing machine must go through the entire cycle so that you can fully evaluate the performance of the household appliance.
- As soon as the washing cycle is completed, the hatch door is opened and left for ventilation (such actions will help avoid the appearance of a musty smell).
The first test wash is started without loading dirty laundry. The thing is that particles of technical oil and other dirt may remain in the drum. In order not to spoil things, the first wash should be done empty.
Do I need to add detergent?
There are several recommendations to follow when choosing a detergent for the first launch:
- If ordinary washing powder is poured into the powder receptacle, it is important that the package is marked “automatic”.
The thing is that hand washing powders are characterized by increased foaming, which can lead to damage to the household appliance. - As an option, you can use a special product that effectively removes technical dirt and foreign odors - Helfer Start HLR0054.
For the first launch, one package of this tool is enough. It is poured into the powder receptacle in the main wash compartment.
For the first test wash, use a minimum amount of regular washing powder (less than half the norm).
What should you pay attention to?
When starting up a Samsung washing machine for the first time, it is very important to monitor the entire washing cycle in order to identify problems in time.
Normal operation of the washing machine requires:
- slow rotation of the drum during washing, accelerated during spinning;
- heating the water in the drum seven minutes after switching on;
- absence of leaks and extraneous sounds;
- spinning and draining water without delay.
You should be wary:
- strange sounds
- grinding and knocking
- digital signals appearing on the scoreboard,
- incorrect operation of the selected washing program (for example, frequent draining of water),
- body rattling during the spin process.
If you have any doubts about the correct functioning of a household appliance, this is a reason to contact the service center for advice and warranty service.
Adviсe
A few tips from service professionals will help you run your washing machine for the first time without any problems:
- In order to check the installation quality of the washing machine, use a level. If necessary, place pieces of rubber under the legs of the household appliance.
- When unpacking your new washing machine, there is no need to rush to get rid of the packaging containers.
The box (along with the receipt) must be kept during the entire warranty period. Otherwise, you will not be able to use the warranty service. - The washing machine can only be plugged into a grounded outlet protected from high humidity. You cannot use a carrier to connect the washing machine to the power supply.
If during the first test wash any signs of problems with the household appliance appear (knocking, grinding, etc.), it is important to seek help from professional technicians. Fixing problems with your appliance on your own will void the warranty.
You will find a lot of useful and important information on how to properly use Samsung washing machines in this section.
Conclusion
The meaning of the first wash:
- cleaning the internal surfaces of the device from residual technical fluids and oil,
- testing of working programs,
- checking the tightness of connections with water supply and drainage systems.
Properly carrying out the first launch of the washing machine will allow you to prepare the device for further long-term, uninterrupted operation.

How to reboot SM
The instructions you will read below are suitable for resetting most washing machines. But it’s a good idea to look at the equipment’s operating instructions. Maybe your washing machine is an exception and you won’t be able to restart it using the methods described below.
Before rebooting, carefully inspect the buttons and symbols on the control panel. If you find the RESET button, then simply press it and the running program will be interrupted. If there is no restart program, you will have to use a button with a double meaning “Start/Pause” or “Start/Pause”.
If you need to change a running program, proceed as follows:
If you need to add an item to the drum or, conversely, remove a foreign object, then pressing the “Start/Pause” button will not be enough. Here you will have to drain the water.
There is no need to drain the water from a top-loading washing machine. After stopping, just open the drum doors and take out unnecessary or add necessary items.
How to proceed in this case?
Why is it necessary to reset the program correctly?
Of course, there are some owners who, if something happens, simply unplug the power cord from the outlet. They explain this by the fact that their washing machine is expensive and modern, and therefore is able to “remember” all the program options that were present before the accident.
Such devices are indeed sold, but a prudent owner will never do this: in the event of a sudden shutdown, there is a risk of damaging the electronic board of the washing machine. What can we say about models with a computerized circuit. They certainly do not tolerate such an extreme approach.
Further recommendations apply to models released in our time. When describing malfunctions of machines of past decades, additional information will be given.
Reset to SMA Indesit
Owners of Indesit washing machines are often confused by the appearance of the Start/Reset button on the control panel. As a rule, it is not signed, but instead of the usual triangle and two sticks there is a diamond with one vertical line in the middle. Original. Before starting washing, the user must set the toggle switches to the required mode and rotation speed.
Indesit panel
In case of an emergency stop, there is a certain sequence of actions:
- hold down “Start/Reset” (the button with a diamond and a stick) for a few seconds;
- the wash is interrupted, open the drum and reload it.
Expert opinion
I work in the household appliance repair industry. Extensive experience in restoring washing machines and dishwashers.
Ask a Question
It should be taken into account that on older Indesit models, before pressing the diamond, you need to move the handles to their original position. If after resetting all the panel lights turn green and go out, the machine is working properly. Otherwise, such a signal will not occur, which indicates a breakdown of the device.
Reset to Hotpoint-Ariston
As in the case of “Indesit”, I slightly modified the icon of the “ON/OFF” button. This is not a diamond with a line, not a triangle with sticks, but a circle, the top of which is crossed by a vertical line.
This icon can be found on a number of other devices - from a computer monitor to a TV set-top box. Popularly it is called the Power button.
Panel "Ariston"
So, to reset the wash on Hotpoint-Ariston machines, you should hold down Power for 3 seconds. The program needs this much time for it to understand that the click did not happen by accident.
If you press it once, the machine will not respond. After pressing Power for 3 seconds, the washing cycle will be canceled and the settings will be reset.
Reset on Bosch washing machines
When operating Bosch washing machines of the latest models (2015-19), reloading laundry, changing modes, and turning on/off the spin cycle follow the same principle:
- Remove the display lock, if there is one.
- Press Start/Pause once.
Do you store laundry in the washing machine?Oh yes! No.
- If you need to load other things, or remove unnecessary ones, wait until YES appears on the indicator. Only then will it be possible to open the drum.
- If you need to change the options, press the button that is needed (temperature, drain, rinse, etc.).
- After the additional loading or mode change manipulations have been completed, press “Start/Pause” again. The machine will continue washing.
For an SMA of this brand, it is permissible to turn off the power from the outlet, but only if the malfunction is not described in the operating instructions.
Bosch panel
Reset on Samsung
There is also a classic “Start/Pause” button - a triangle and two lines. To reset or switch the washing mode, press this button, move the round knob to another program, and press “Start/Pause” again. The machine will accept the new settings.
A number of models include a special function in which you can pause the wash and add detergent through an additional lid on the drum door or remove items that were put in by mistake. Very comfortably.
Samsung panel
Reset on LG washing machines
On cars of this brand, all the rules described above apply. When using LG, it is worth noting the subtlety that will allow you to stop and reset the washing mode, without making any special intellectual effort or, simply put, “for the lazy.”
While working, just press “Start/Pause” and wait a little. Then the program will automatically reset all washing options and interrupt the cycle.
How to properly reboot the machine
Before restarting the product, carefully study the instructions for your particular washing machine model, since each brand of machine has its own design features and certain methods for urgent stopping. We will look at general recommendations for properly rebooting the machine.
How to stop the program: options
Most washing machines have two unified options for urgently resetting the installed program.
First option
If the “Start” button in the unit also serves as the “Pause” button, then you need to press it once to stop the wash and wait a couple of seconds. After this, the door lock should unlock. Now you can load additional laundry into the drum or take out an item that accidentally got into it, forgotten in your pocket. Before opening the door, make sure there is no water inside, otherwise it will spill out.
Healthy! If water has already accumulated in the washing machine, drain it manually using the drain filter (a small hatch at the bottom of the machine).
Second option
By pressing the "Start/Pause" button, the program is completely reset. In this case, turning off is not done by pressing it once, but by holding the button for a long time (5-6 seconds). Further events will develop depending on the modification of your device:
Why do you need to reset the program correctly?
Many users believe that the problem of urgent work stoppage can be solved by simply disconnecting the device from the electrical network. Yes, this will allow you to turn off the washing machine, but the previously selected mode may not be reset, since often automatic machines “remember” the last settings and will start them again after turning them on. In addition, due to a sudden disconnection from the network, an important part of the unit - the control board - is at high risk of breakdown.
If the power is out
In the event of a sudden power outage, first of all, disconnect the device from the network. To do this, you need to remove the cord from the outlet so that the washing machine is not subject to a sudden voltage drop.
When the power supply is restored, plug the device into the mains. If the previously installed program has not been reset, the automatic machine will simply continue to operate. Some models will drain the water when turned on and stop washing. In this case, you will need to select the desired mode again and start it.
Internal failure
If the unit suddenly fails, it is necessary to find out what kind of problem arose: software or mechanical.
If the software fails, the control panel is locked and the buttons do not respond to pressing. Try unplugging the machine for 15-20 minutes to reboot the control unit, then turn it on and try to run the program again. Recommendation! To return the automatic machine to its factory settings, you may need the help of an electronics technician; do not try to cope with this task yourself without the appropriate training.
Rebooting the washing machine: when is it required and how to do it
2018-09-11 Evgeniy Fomenko
Instructions for restarting the washing machine
Sometimes the washing machine urgently needs to be turned off and then turned on again (rebooted).
It is important to know how to restart the machine:
- Press and hold the start button for the running wash cycle for 5 seconds;
- Wait until the washer stops. Some models have a built-in function to drain the water before stopping;
- Select the desired mode;
- If necessary, add washing powder or a special detergent to the detergent container;
- Start the machine again by clicking “Start”.
Sometimes a situation arises in which it is necessary to pause the operation of the appliance for a while in order to add something to the drum or remove items from it that cannot be washed. To do this, you must first stop the unit using the function running the program, holding it for a few seconds, and then drain the water from the drum.
There are several ways to urgently drain water:
- Using a drain filter;
- Using the emergency drain hose, which is usually located next to the drain filter;
- Start the “Spin” mode simultaneously with the active “No spin” function. Within a couple of minutes, the washer will drain the remaining water and the hatch will open.
After draining the water from the drum on its own, the washing machine will need to be turned off. To do this, first press the button that turns off the device programmatically, and then remove the plug from the socket. After 10-15 minutes, the hatch will unlock, depending on the model. When you need to continue washing, the appliance turns on as usual.
Important: Do not turn off the plug from the socket until “Off” is pressed. This can lead to damage to the electronics in the device and blocking the hatch. Repairing an electronic board is quite expensive. In the event of an unexpected power outage, it is recommended to unplug the cord from the outlet so that when the power supply is turned on, the control board does not burn out due to a power surge.
After resetting the network voltage, the plug can be connected to its original place and the unit will continue washing from the place where it was stopped. Some models are designed to drain the water before resuming the cycle. In this case, you need to run the unfinished program again.
In many models of Indesit washing machines, to start working you will have to turn a special toggle switch, and when choosing the desired program, press the corresponding button.
To reset a running program:
- After pressing the “Start” button, do not release it for five (sometimes longer) seconds. the work will begin on its own;
- On some older models, you may need to turn the knob to the neutral position.
In some models of the brands Indesit, Atlant, Candy, Zanussi, after a successful reset of the program, all the lights on the panel light up green for a moment and immediately go out.
If there is no such blinking, most likely the washing machine is faulty, and you need to look for a breakdown. If everything went well, but there is still water in the drum, the hatch will not open. In such a situation, you will have to drain the water manually. Some models from Siemens, Hans, Miele and Electrolux are equipped with a special button that is responsible for resetting programs and rebooting the machine.
In order to stop the cycle and change the mode, you should:
- Press the reset button, holding it until the drum stops;
- Select the required mode;
- Add detergent if necessary;
- Run the program again.
If you need to change the amount of laundry in the drum, you will have to manually drain the water from it using the “Spin” mode or using a drain filter. On older models of the South Korean brands Samsung and LG there was no stop/start button, and programs were launched using a toggle switch. Such models are rare, but, nevertheless, they perform their functions well to this day.
Modern washing machines of the Hotpoint-Ariston, Samsung, Whirlpool, LGI brands have a program reset button, which you just need to press during washing, and the washing machine will perform all the necessary actions on its own. The rotation of the drum will stop, the water will be drained and the hatch will open.
If you stop due to an electronics failure, or if there is no response when pressing buttons, you can unplug the power cord from the outlet for 10-15 minutes. Typically, such actions help solve the problem and reboot the device.
Many models are equipped with a child lock feature, such as Hotpoint-Ariston Aqualtis and Samsung Eco Bubble. They do not allow you to open the hatch just like that, but only after pressing a certain combination of buttons.
Reasons for Rebooting
Restarting the washing machine may be necessary if:
- If some necessary item is forgotten in the drum, washing it may ruin it;
- To change the washing program if the wrong mode was accidentally selected;
- In case of unexpected loss of power to the device;
- If the machine is frozen by software and does not respond to button presses;
- If you need to add items to the washing drum.
Most previously released cars do not have a “Reset” button, such as the Aeg, Ardo, Beko, Bosch or Gorenje models. Instead, you should use a button that launches the currently running program. It should not be confused with the Start and On/Off buttons.
How to reboot?
It is necessary to understand that resetting the settings of an automatic washing machine is an extreme measure, which should be resorted to only when other methods fail to return the washing machine to working capacity. If the automatic machine freezes in the middle of washing, you can try to reset the settings yourself and start the desired program again. The algorithm of actions will be as follows:
If the settings on the automatic machine have been reset, the indication on the control panel will turn green and go out after a second.
The case when the lamps do not flicker indicates a malfunction of the unit or you made a mistake when resetting the settings. If you cannot reset the program this way, you should start a complete reboot of the machine. It is performed as follows:
It happens that the Indesit washing machine does not respond to turning the programmer and pressing a button. Then you can skip these reboot steps and immediately turn off the power to the equipment. However, it should be remembered that if there is a sudden power cut while the machine is operating, there is a risk of failure of the main control unit.
Setting up other popular models of washing units
Let's take a closer look at resetting washing modes for individual washing machine models. 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 a different way to stop and reset the washing settings.
- Press “start” and hold it for several seconds.
- The wash will stop.
- On older models, you also need to turn the toggle switch to the neutral position.
It is necessary to take into account that if the program reset on Indesit brand machines was successful, then all the lights should have turned green and immediately gone out. If there was no “blinking”, then there is a malfunction of the unit or some kind of error. Even if everything went correctly and successfully, the hatch may still not open due to a large amount of water.
A reboot is not changing the amount of laundry in the machine, but setting a new washing program. A reboot is necessary if:
- A foreign object got inside the washing machine - a phone, small change and other items placed in a clothing pocket.
- The wrong mode was selected and the washing process needs to be restarted.
