It won’t take much time to figure out how to use a Vestel washing machine. Most modern machines are controlled the same way, have similar dashboards and a standard list of programs. If you previously had any “vertical” or “front” at home, then there will be no problems - everything is quite typical. But there is no need to get acquainted with a new brand “at random” - it is better to clarify the nuances and features of Vestel in advance. Our instructions with an overview of programs and options will come in handy.

Water consumption per one cycle of operation
The amount of fluid used may vary from machine to machine. This is influenced by the capacity of the tank and the availability of programs that the washing equipment has. The average figure for a standard machine with a drum loading volume of seven kilograms requires up to sixty liters of water. Standards for each type of equipment are usually contained in the specific instructions for the model.
Washing machines that have a laundry weighing function can be guided by the actual weight of the laundry. When washing, the equipment will weigh the items and fill the drum with liquid by weight.
Verified information shows that for linen with average soiling intensity when machine washed, one tablespoon is required, this is equivalent to 25 g of powder. When washing four kilograms of dry clothes, you need to add one hundred grams of product.

About the laundry detergent
The quality of washing is also affected by the detergent. It is important to correctly calculate the dosage of concentrate prescribed on the package: an insufficient amount will not cope with dirt, and an excessive amount will damage the fabric. For convenience, measuring devices, a spoon or a cap are used. The second point concerns pouring the powder. On Vestel, powder receivers consist of three compartments:
- the left one, the largest, is intended for the main wash;
- central, the smallest, used for additional liquid products, fragrance, softener, bleach;
- right, middle, required when turning on the prewash.
To clean delicate fabrics, cleaning products in the form of gels, capsules, tablets and wipes are recommended.
The third nuance is the quality of the concentrate. It is advisable not to save money and choose instant natural formulations. They handle stains better and are completely rinsed out of the fibers.

After washing, leave the washing machine door ajar for no more than
one hour. This time is enough to allow the inside of the washing machine to dry and prevent the formation of unpleasant odors. If the washing machine door is left open longer, the door will become loose,
which can lead to a violation of the clear fixation of the lock, and in case of transportation at low temperatures, before use
The washing machine must be kept for at least 24 hours at room temperature.

Which parts break more often?
Any automatic machine can fail. Each brand has its own weak points, which are the first to be affected by a breakdown. Turkish SMAs are no exception. Their problems are:
- The washing program does not start. The control panel functions normally, the machine itself turns on, a mode is selected, but the start button does not respond to pressing.
- The equipment freezes at the initial stage of washing. The user selects a mode, starts it, but after a while the machine stalls and does not respond to presses. The screen may display error code E07.
- Powder and rinse aid remain in the detergent drawer. This problem often worries owners of Vestel SM. This is not due to water or blockages, but to the specific design of the unit.
This short list cannot be called exhaustive - cars break down for other reasons. Our other articles on replacing bearings, tachogenerator, pressure switch, flashing control board firmware, etc. are devoted to troubleshooting such problems. Below we will consider only failures characteristic of Vestela.
