How to open the washing machine during washing - 6 ways

models The washing machine design is designed so that during washing it was impossible to opendoors. This is done so that the water in the drum does not pour out if the hatch is not opened in time. However, there are situations when it is necessary to do this. The need to stop the machine arises to add a few more things or get what's got into the drum by mistake.

For example, a thing that can shed and got into laundry with white linen, can ruin it irrevocably. It is not surprising that in this case, unlock the door and get every "mistress" to get an uninvited guest. If a phone or credit card gets into the wash, this is another reason for an emergency stop. That such a stop in emergency mode does not end in a small flood or breakdown of technology, you need to follow a certain order.

Pause mode

At the very beginning of the wash, while the washing machine tank has not yet been filled with water completely, there is an easy way to stop the program. You can do this using the "Pause" mode. It is in all models. For temporary shutdown, without draining the water, just press the on / off button( in some models there is a separate "pause" button).

It is important to consider one nuance - the pressure should be single and fast. If you press and hold the button for a few seconds, the selected program will be disconnected instead of pausing. If you press the same button, the program will be suspended, and after a while the door will be unlocked. After that, it remains to get random items or to report more and run the machine by pressing the power button.

Council

Masters engaged in servicing and repairing machines do not recommend to frequently turn on pause or reprogram the technique during washing. Abuse of such an opportunity over time leads to a malfunction in the programs and premature repair.

If there is a lot of water in the drum

If it is necessary to open a washing machine when there is a high water level in the drum, the water must be drained off. This is also not difficult. In this case, you need to do the following.

• Stop the machine with the power button.
• Enable the program "Drain"( the button "Pump"), and if it is not - "Spin".
• After draining the water, the door will be unlocked.

In some cases, you need to open the hatch immediately. In this case, an emergency drain will work. It is executed in manual mode, through a filter. Usually this part is in the front part, in the lower right corner, behind the panel. Opening the panel, you can see the filter hose. Having substituted the water tank, you can pull the hose out of the socket, open the cork and drain the water.

Some models do not have this hose. In this case, pull out the filter plug. After an emergency stop with a drain of water, you will not be able to finish washing according to the old program, you will have to reprogram the machine again.

Nonstandard situations

Sometimes forced stopping the machine leads to the fact that the door does not open, even after draining the water. The best way out in this case is to call a repairman. But if there is no time and you need to open the washing machine urgently, you can try it yourself.

This can be done in such ways:

• emergency opening cable;
• with cord or spatula;
• disconnection of the CBA lock.

Emergency opening cable

Many models of washing machines are equipped with a special cable to unlock the lock. Search for it from the front side near the filter, behind the decorative panel at the bottom of the machine. It is painted in a bright orange color, so after removing the decorative panel it is impossible to notice it. It is enough to pull the cable - and the door should open. If there is no such device in the typewriter, you will have to move on to more complex methods.

Forced opening with a cord

A thin synthetic cord can help open the hatch of the machine if previous actions have not yielded positive results. The minus of this method, invented by folk craftsmen, is not always suitable. The reason for the design of the castle. If the tab locks against the body of the machine, then it opens, and if from the housing or upwards - this way will not give anything.

Step-by-step instruction

• Prepare a piece of thin and strong cord or fishing line according to the circumference of the hatch with a small margin.
• Locate from the side opposite the lock.
• Connect the cord to the gap between the body and the hatch along the entire circumference, and hold both ends in hands.
• Tighten the cord so that it presses against the latch.

If, as a result, the door does not open, then the lock design is of a different type and only one option remains - remove the top panel.

Tip

If you have a house with a flexible spatula, you can use it instead of a cord - into the gap between the door and the body and press on the tab.

Versatile way, suitable for all

models Removing the top panel of the washing machine, you can unlock the hatch in any model. So this method is the most universal. However, it requires some skills and tools. In some machines, the panel is fixed with two screws, which can be removed using a conventional screwdriver, but this is a rare case. Usually, in order to remove the panel, you have to use the keys TORX, and their size is not the same for different models. It can be such variants:

• Т 15;
• T 20;
• T 25.

Unscrewing the bolts on the rear wall, you need to move the cover back, and then remove it. After that, you need to put your hand in the part where the lock is located( on the side of the tank), and press the latch. Before removing the cover, it is necessary to turn off the equipment by pulling the cord out of the socket and drain the water.

By sticking to the recommendations outlined here, you can open the machine during washing and during emergency situations. However, if you do not have skills in servicing equipment and are not confident in your abilities - call the master, and he will open your machine.
