- Some useful tips for
- Supernumerary situations
The modern washing machine performs its functions according to the algorithm of the built-in program, in which it is impossible to make corrections, as they say, "in the process".However, there are circumstances when it is necessary to stop the washing machine during washing, in order to perform certain additional actions. For example, if a colored, heavily shedding thing has hit the drum with white linen. In order not to suffer light lingerie, you need to remove "uninvited guest" as soon as possible. Another example of a good reason for an emergency stop "Stiralki" is a random hit in the drum of a payment card, purse or mobile phone. Therefore, knowing how to open a washing machine during washing will never be superfluous.

The design of the eraser is such that during the washing process the door can not be opened. This is provided so that the water in the drum does not spill out if the door is not opened in time. So, how do you perform the steps to stop a running washing machine?
Using the "Start" button
For most washing machine models, the "Start" button simultaneously pauses and stops. After the wash program is started, but the drum has not yet filled with water, you can press the button to stop the washing process, wait until the door is unlocked and open the machine. Now you can put the forgotten things in the drum of the erasing device, or vice versa - lay out the items that got into the machine mistakenly.
Important! Press the "Start" button one time and quickly. If you hold the button for a few seconds, the specified program will be completely turned off. Pressing one-touch only pauses the wash program. Now, after performing the necessary actions, it is enough to start the machine with the same button "Start".
How do I stop the washing machine during washing, if the "Pause" function is not present?
If the washing machine does not have the "Pause" function, you can set the wash function controller to its original position. After that, the device will automatically turn off. But if the drum has already filled with water, you can not open the door. Now change the wash mode and turn the device on again. If you need to open the door, first turn on the drain or spin function to remove water.
Important! Sometimes it is necessary to open the door immediately. In this case, you can use the emergency drain. It is carried out through the filter, manually, using a special hose. It remains only to remove the hose from the nest and substitute a suitable container for it. If there is no hose, you can remove the filter plug for emergency drainage. After such manipulations it is necessary to start the machine first. You can not pause the wash mode.
Power outage
If the cause of the machine stoppage is a power outage, then it is better to disconnect the device from the network and wait for the normalization of electricity supply. After you turn on the machine and start it, the washing will continue from the moment you stop.
Thinking about how to turn off the washing machine during washing, you can simulate a power outage. It is enough just to pull the cord out of the socket. By the way, this method works well when stopping "styralki" with vertical loading.
to the contents ↑Nonstandard situations
It happens that the door of the washing machine remains locked after the water is drained. The most reasonable solution to the problem is the call of the master. But if there is no time at all, you can open the machine in one of three ways:
- Use the emergency opening cable.
- Open the machine with a spatula or cord.
- Disengage the UBL lock.
Application of the emergency opening cable
Many modern models of washing machines are equipped with a special cable that is designed to unlock the lock. It is located from the front of the device, near the filter.
Important! The cable is colored in a bright orange color, so it's impossible not to notice it.
Pull the cable and the machine door opens. If there is no cable, you will have to resort to more complex manipulations. 
Open the machine using the
cord A thin plastic cord can help open the door of the washing machine.
Important! The disadvantage of this method is that it is far from always effective. The trick is how the castle works. If its tab locks against the body of the machine, the method will work, and if it is up or from the body, then no.
Here's an action algorithm to open the washing machine during washing:
- Prepare a piece of a durable thin cord. Its length corresponds to the diameter of the hatch with a small margin.
- Locate from the side that is the opposite of the lock.
- Insert the cord into the slot between the hatch and the enclosure along the entire circumference. Hold both ends of the cord in your hands.
- Pull the cord so that it pushes the latch.
If the door does not open, then the lock has a different design and you can not do without removing the top panel.
Important! If you have a flexible spatula, you can try to get it between the body of the washing machine and the door by pressing the lock tab.
Universal method
So, all the described methods of result did not give. If you remove the top panel of the washing machine, you can unlock the hatch of any brand. This method can be considered truly universal.
Important! Remove the top panel using a screwdriver or a TORX key: T15, T20 or T25, depending on the brand of the device.
Unscrew the bolts on the back, slide, and then remove the cover. It remains only to reach the lock in the side of the tank and press the latch.
Important! Before removing the cover, be sure to unplug the machine and drain the water.
Knowing how to turn off the washing machine during washing is absolutely essential. But any forced shutdown of the washing machine is a malfunction in the program, which can subsequently cause the device to malfunction. Therefore, the shutdown is made only in emergency situations. It is much more reasonable to wait until the end of the wash cycle, and then perform all the necessary manipulations. It is not possible to overuse the reprogramming of the erasing device or to turn the pause on frequently.
