How to reset frozen mode?
To change the washing mode or restore the functionality of a frozen washing machine, it is necessary to carry out the program reset procedure.
It is very important to wait until the indicators blink to confirm that the program has been reset successfully. If the indicators on the control panel do not light up, then only a full reboot procedure can restore the Indesit washing machine to working order.
Algorithm of actions:
- Turn the program selector knob to the neutral position.
- Press the “Start/Stop” button for 5-7 seconds.
- Unplug the household appliance.
- After five to ten minutes, turn on the washing machine and restart the required washing mode.
The described methods for resetting and completely rebooting the Indesit washing machine are good if the tank did not have time to fill with water or a failure occurred during the spin phase. But what if you need to reset the program and open the door during the main wash?
How to open the washing machine if the tank is full of water?
A situation where a valuable item (for example, a passport or phone) gets into the drum along with dirty laundry requires an immediate response.
Washing machine necessary:
- stop,
- drain the water
- open the hatch,
- get the item you need (no need to completely overload the washing machine).
Algorithm of actions:
- press the “Start/Stop” button and wait until all the LEDs on the panel blink;
- set the “Drain” or “Drain without spin” mode;
- press the “Start/Stop” button.
After the machine drains the water, open the hatch door, take out the thing you were looking for, after which the door is closed and the program is started again.
If the washing machine for some reason blocks the water draining process, The tank can be cleaned forcibly:
- Press the “Start” button and wait until the washing process stops.
- Unscrew the drain filter (counterclockwise movements). The part is hidden at the bottom of the front panel of the case.
- Drain the water into a basin or bucket.
Restarting the old model
The Indesit washing machine of the old model is a manual control technique.
To restart it, the following steps must be taken:
- hold down the “On” button for a few seconds;
- Turn the program selector knob to the neutral position.
After waiting two to three minutes, set the required mode and press the “On” button to start a new wash.
Why do you need to reset the program correctly?
Those who believe that in order to stop the washing machine in an emergency, it is enough to disconnect the device from the electrical network are mistaken.
Firstly, the automatic washing machine will continue to operate in the previously set mode after being plugged in again (it is simply impossible to reset the program in this way).
Secondly, An emergency stop of the washing machine by disconnecting it from the network is fraught with problems with the control module (sharp voltage surges damage circuit boards and microcircuits of the “brains” of household appliances).
What to do with a device that is frozen?
Before you start restarting a frozen Indesit washing machine, you need to find out whether the failure is the result of operating errors in the household appliance or whether the washing process is not carried out due to software problems.
So, if the washer does not start washing, check:
- voltage in the power supply network,
- hatch closure density,
- water pressure in the tap.
Perhaps the weight of dirty laundry placed in the drum exceeds the norm (the weight sensor sends a signal to the control module, blocking the operation of the washing machine). In this case, you need to turn off the washing machine, open the hatch and remove some of the laundry, and distribute the remaining items evenly throughout the drum.
Perhaps, due to inattention, a washing program was launched that did not include draining and spinning (for example, for delicate items). In such situation draining water and spinning are started manually separately.
The Indesit washing machine froze at the very beginning of the wash - you need to check whether the dirty laundry in the drum is bunched up.Imbalance is the most common reason for the washing machine to stop (the module receives an overload signal, thereby blocking the drum rotation process).
If the operating errors are eliminated and normal operation of the washing machine does not resume, then most likely there is a malfunction in the control module. In this case requires a full restart automatic washing machine.
Adviсe
Modern models of Indesit washing machines in most cases are equipped with a “Reset” function (translated as reset).
Carefully examine the panel of household appliances, and if there is a reset button on it, then you need to hold it down for a few minutes and the previously launched washing program will be reset to zero.
In order to remove excess or put missing clothes into the Indesit vertical loading washing machine, it is not necessary to drain the water from the drum. It is enough to stop the washing process, open the drum doors and take out (put in) the desired item.
Detailed operating instructions for Indesit washing machines are presented in given section.
Conclusion
By strictly following the prescribed algorithm, resetting the program in the Indesit washing machine is easy. But you should always remember that restarting a household appliance is private. Regularly resetting the program is the path to serious repairs to your washing machine.
