How to stop a washing machine

Modern home appliances are programmed and do their job according to predefined algorithms. To influence her in the process of work is very difficult. Attempts to mechanically act can lead to malfunctions and malfunction. But sometimes, in the event of extraordinary situations, the question arises, how to stop the washing machine during washing? In this case, there are a number of techniques that allow to immediately stop the operation of the device.

Built-in functions

In almost all popular models of washing machines, the start buttons are also responsible for the functions of pause and full stop. In the case when it has already worked locking mechanism, but the drum is not completely filled with water, you can use the pause function and cancel the running program.

This method is suitable for situations where you need to put forgotten clothes or lay out linen that has accidentally got into the drum.

In cases where a pause is not provided by the developers, the washing can be stopped by returning the function regulator to its original position. After this, the algorithm usually stops completely. But there are some nuances. Do not open the boot lid if it is at least half filled with water. Use this method if you need to change operation mode or add to the list additional actions.

You can get rid of water as follows:

• wait until the work stops;
• locate the spin or drain function on the control panel;
• Activate one of these programs and wait for the water to drain.

Power down

If the stop of the household appliance is due to power outagesthen the most appropriate solution is to disconnect the machine from the power supply until the functions of the power supply network are normalized. After receiving the power again, the machine will continue to perform the washing algorithm at the same place where it was interrupted.

In extreme cases, you can take advantage of this feature, and mimic the problem with power, simply pulling the cord out of the socket.

This method can be used if you can not leave the machine unattended, but you need to urgently leave. But remember that each forced the interruption of the washing algorithm is directly reflected in the software of the washing machine. In the future, this may affect the quality of its work: the machine may suddenly stop while washing or even do not turn on. Therefore, experts recommend the use of such outages only in the case of urgent need. The most correct solution is to wait until the end of the wash.

Conclusion

Sudden interruption of the washing algorithm is a possible, but undesirable process. We looked at a few simple ways to turn off the washing machine during the wash. But remember, you should not use the above techniques without a good reason. One way or another, this negatively affects the work of both electronic and mechanical components of a household appliance.
