How to reset a washing machine program
Modern washing machines make life so much easier that owners are accustomed to completely trusting them to wash their clothes. Having relaxed, owners of LG, Bosch, Beko and other brands make many dangerous mistakes - they do not check their pockets for foreign objects, put colored items with white ones together, etc. In such cases, you need to reset the program and stop the unit. Therefore, many are interested in the question of how to reset the program on a washing machine.

General scheme of actions
The most popular manufacturers are Indesit, Bosch, Eldzhi, Samsung, Ariston, Beko. In most cases, the general rules for resetting a program work. To do this you need:
Start button on a washing machine
Modern manufacturers equip machines with an initial drain of water, and only then turn them off. It is worth considering that due to the settings of the device of an earlier year of manufacture, the water may not drain even when the door is unlocked. In such a situation, you need to remove it using a filter, which is located on the front side of most LG, Veko, Samsung, Indesit, Bosch models.
What to do with a frozen machine?
How to clear errors if the device is frozen and does not respond to any manipulations? It is necessary to overload the SMA - turn it off by unplugging it from the socket for 15 minutes. After waiting the required time, the wash is started again with the required settings. Some users are interested in how to reset a washing machine to factory settings? It is advisable to call a specialist - you need technical training to work with a specific electronic part. Fortunately, such situations are rare - a simple reboot usually helps.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated about resetting washing programs - each model provides the ability to perform such a manipulation. The key to success is knowing the technical features of a particular model and reading the instructions. And remember: disconnecting the machine from the power supply after it has started working can damage the control board.
What to do for an urgent stop or when frozen?
It is important to remember that you should not unplug the washing machine. Firstly, in new models from any manufacturer (Indesit, LG, Veko, Bosch, etc.) there is a function to remember the last used program, which does not solve the problem. Secondly, in older versions, such actions can lead to breakdown of the electronic unit, which promises expensive repairs. Therefore, it is advisable to look for other ways to reset the program on a washing machine. To do this, you need to press the “Start/Pause” button and use the programmer to select the spin mode, or better yet, the water drain mode.
If the program freezes or the drum stops rotating, full operation returns by disconnecting the unit from the network. First, press the power button, and then remove the cord from the outlet. After these steps, you need to try to start the machine again. If the attempt was unsuccessful, then you should contact a repair specialist. This situation may indicate a breakdown of the control module.
Descriptions and designations of Beko (BEKO) washing modes
By reading the operating instructions, you can find out in detail what a particular program means. But this is not always possible if the equipment was not purchased new or the instructions are lost. Therefore, in the table below we will look at the main modes and functions of the Beko machine.
How to choose the right mode in a washing machine
The selection of Beko programs does not vary between models. How to install and configure the mode is described in detail in the instructions.
By turning the selector knob, select the quick wash mode or any other. To set the temperature, turn the thermostat clockwise. The time depends on the length of the cycle.
Individual approach
Despite the existence of general rules for resetting washing machine programs, representatives of each brand have their own special cases.
On older Ariston and Beko models, there are no buttons to start washing at all. This action is carried out by turning the program selection knob. To reset, you need to set it to neutral, then hold the off button and turn the washing machine back on after 30 seconds. How to do this correctly is shown in the video.
The same situation is with older analogues of Elgie. Modern LG and Samsung models are equipped with a special program reset button, which can be used at any stage of the wash. She will stop the process on her own, drain the remaining water and then open the hatch.

Resetting the program of the Indesit washing machine can be done using the button above which there is a diamond with a vertical line in the center. If it is not on the control panel, then simply turn the programmer to the neutral position.

Some nuances
Although the manipulation in question is simple, it is worth considering a number of possible points. Here are some of them:
Washing machine Indesit
Resetting the program and stopping the wash is not difficult; to do this, you just need to know the technical nuances of your home assistant well. Therefore, before operation, it is important to read the manufacturer’s instructions, be it Beko, Elgie or Bosch.

Stopping the program correctly
The easiest way would be to restart the system. However, it is advisable to use this technique only if the equipment has frozen and stopped responding to commands . An emergency reboot can cause problems with electronics. That is, it is better to find a more gentle way. A safe reset can be done like this.
After successful manipulations, the machine “calms down”. At the same time, the lights flash and go out. If nothing like this happens, there is a malfunction, and the system signals an error. This means you will have to reboot. It is done correctly like this.
Important! If equipment is abruptly disconnected from the power supply, there is a risk of damage to electronic systems!
Cases when you need to quickly stop washing
What to do?
For example, you remembered that you left something in your pocket or saw a foreign object in the drum, and the machine has already started the program.
Or suddenly it turned out that a white item got in with the colored linen and could be irretrievably damaged.
And if your phone or credit card gets erased, an emergency stop is urgently needed!
Water prevents the door from opening
Important! Water and soap heated to 45 degrees or higher can damage microchips and oxidize microcircuits.
To remove contents from a drum filled with water, do the following.
The washing machine should then stop. The water will drain and the hatch will be unlocked. If the drainage does not take place, you will have to do the following - twist the “trash can” (filter element). It is located behind a small door at the bottom of the case.
You can remove it by unscrewing the part counterclockwise. It is worth remembering that up to 1 bucket of water can be drained. This means you need to prepare a container and rags.
To summarize, resetting the program in the Beko washing machine should be carried out according to the rules. An emergency reboot can lead to a number of problems, but if you cannot stop the equipment otherwise, you can use it. However, there is no guarantee that the machine will behave as before; it may even need repairs.

How to properly reboot the machine
Before restarting the product, carefully study the instructions for your particular washing machine model, since each brand of machine has its own design features and certain methods for urgent stopping. We will look at general recommendations for properly rebooting the machine.
How to stop the program: options
Most washing machines have two unified options for urgently resetting the installed program.
First option
Healthy! If water has already accumulated in the washing machine, drain it manually using the drain filter (a small hatch at the bottom of the machine).
Second option
By pressing the "Start/Pause" button, the program is completely reset. In this case, turning off is not done by pressing it once, but by holding the button for a long time (5-6 seconds). Further events will develop depending on the modification of your device:
Why do you need to reset the program correctly?
Many users believe that the problem of urgent work stoppage can be solved by simply disconnecting the device from the electrical network. Yes, this will allow you to turn off the washing machine, but the previously selected mode may not be reset, since often automatic machines “remember” the last settings and will start them again after turning them on. In addition, due to a sudden disconnection from the network, an important part of the unit - the control board - is at high risk of breakdown.
If the power is out
In the event of a sudden power outage, first of all, disconnect the device from the network. To do this, you need to remove the cord from the outlet so that the washing machine is not subject to a sudden voltage drop.
When the power supply is restored, plug the device into the mains. If the previously installed program has not been reset, the automatic machine will simply continue to operate. Some models will drain the water when turned on and stop washing. In this case, you will need to select the desired mode again and start it.
How to open the washing machine if the door is jammed?
How to manually unlock the washing machine hatch door?
- Firstly, if you haven’t already done so, unplug the washing machine.
- Secondly, open the small hatch on the front panel (drain filter) and check whether your unit has an emergency release cable for the hatch.
Complete stop of the washing program
To start this process, it will be enough to hold down the start/pause button for a few seconds.
This can lead to a complete stop of the washing program with certain aspects: the machine will either drain the water before removing the door lock, or not. This depends on the manufacturer and brand of the machine.
How to disable Indesit?
The methods for resetting options discussed above are universal. But there are personal cases appropriate for certain models. Some are not equipped with a “start/pause” button; for others, the developers have come up with a special method of action. Let’s figure out what to do for owners of the Washing machine “Indesit”.
Typically, start and stop are indicated by an icon that depicts two vertical sticks and a colored triangle. There are other options. In Indesit models, this button is the least functional. It looks like this: it depicts a rhombus, and in the center there is one vertical stick.
To turn on the wash, turn the control switch and, having set the appropriate mode, press the button with a diamond. Procedure:
- Click on the diamond. Don't let go for 5-6 seconds.
- If the machine is working properly, the current options will be reset.
- On outdated versions, you should perform the next action - set the switch neither positive nor negative.
If the lights on the control panel flash green, it means the program has been successfully reset. If not, there is a problem.
Need to finish washing quickly
When does it become necessary to quickly cut off the program and finish the wash? The most common reasons are the discovery of unnecessary items in the drum and the discovery of forgotten items outside the machine that should have gone into the wash. In order to pause the program, we can use a variety of techniques.
The most common method to pause the car is to press the start/pause button. Pressing once will cause program to be temporarily paused. Then you need to wait until the door lock is released and perform the necessary actions, for example, add laundry or remove foreign objects from the drum.
At this step, we need to know that when the program stops, the machine’s tank may already be filled with water. And if we open the door, it will pour onto the floor, flooding the bathroom or kitchen (and at the same time the neighbors below). If you need to pause the machine, you should make sure that the water level in it is below the level of the lower edge of the loading hatch (some older models take up water to almost half the entire tank).
Is the water level in the drum too high? Then it must be drained in advance - this will be discussed in the corresponding section of our article. You can pause the wash by completely interrupting the program - to do this, press and hold the start/pause button for several seconds. This approach will help to completely suspend the execution of the current program. Then the situation can go in 2 ways:
- After stopping, the machine does not drain the water and the door unlocks;
- After stopping the car, it drains the water one hundred percent and also unlocks the door.

In other words, the upcoming behavior depends on the operating logic of the washing machine, invested by the manufacturer. If the water has not connected, we can activate the appropriate program and wait until the water is completely removed from the drum.
Veko washing machines: new times - new functions
In addition to established standards, new technologies have encouraged Beko to develop new functions:
- mode for eliminating lint and pet hair by adding wash cycles and rinsing;
- necessary locking of the washing machine panels using special buttons to prevent sudden pressing, in most cases by children;
- aquafusion, which saves powder consumption by storing the latter in the drum of the Beko until the very end of the process;
- aquawave – electrical imbalance control for uniform placement of laundry in the tank;
- protection against power outages - automatic restart in case of power outages and resumption of washing at the interrupted place;
- a detector to save from possible overflow, which reacts to exceeding the permissible water level in the tank of the Beko washing machine;
- half load mode – for a small amount of clothes. It is also important not to overdo the dose of detergent product;
- development of Silent tech to reduce noise and spin during the washing process, reduce energy consumption and give the washing machine a longer cycle.
Thus, Veko washing machines are products that keep up with the times!
Full stop
If you need to completely turn off the washing machine, then you need to drain the water through a hose in advance (for example, in machines such as Indesit, Hotpoint, Ariston, etc.). If the washing machine is not equipped with a hose for draining water, then you must use a filter. Usually, it is located at the bottom of the machine, in the front.
How to reset an error on a Beko washing machine
This method is also worth resorting to in this case, if draining the water is in no way possible (for example, if the machine simply froze and stopped responding to commands). After this procedure, you can cancel the wash: turn the knob to “Stop” to artificially scroll through all stages of the wash. This method can stop the washing process. Now many people have a question: how to open it later to get things out? It's painfully simple.
After draining the water and canceling the wash, the washing machine door will unlock after 1 minute and you can turn off the machine from the network.
There is another method to completely stop the washing machine. With its help, you can stop the operation of washing machines from companies such as Samsung, Electrolux, Bosch, Beko . To stop the machine, just press and hold the “Start/Stop” button for 5-7 seconds. As a result, two outcomes are possible: the washing machine will either drain the remaining water or not, depending on the brand of the machine and the manufacturer.
After solving the water problem, you can open the washing machine and remove the items. And in Atlant models there is an emergency hatch opening. This washing machine is equipped with a special cable (near the emergency hatch). If you pull it, the hatch will automatically unlock. And in AEG models there is a “Pause” button, which turns off the power to the machine.
If the water temperature is below 50 degrees, the door will unlock.
Thus, stopping the washing machine during washing is easy. It is enough just to choose the most suitable method for this.
How to turn on the washing machine
Before starting work, you need to check the connection of the machine to the electrical network, prepare things for loading, having previously separated light, dark and colored laundry, which must be washed separately. The total volume of things must correspond to the nominal value of the unit: in no case should the drum be filled to the limit. Also pay attention to the fabric of the products; you can only wash items made from the same type of fabric at the same time.
Loading washing powder
Washing powder must be loaded into a special powder compartment, which usually consists of three compartments:
This conditional distribution is typical for most brands of devices. If you want to clarify this information, please refer to the operating instructions specifically for your model.
Advice! When adding washing powder, it is important to follow the dosage indicated on the packaging. There is an opinion that the more powder you add, the better the quality of things. However, if there is an excess of it, the laundry, on the contrary, is poorly rinsed; stains and white stains may remain, which can subsequently affect the development of allergies.
Loading laundry into the drum
Before loading items sorted by color and material, carefully arrange them so that they do not lie in a lump. Thus, the washing and spinning process will be of better quality. After this, close the device door tightly.
Selecting a washing mode
The operating mode (program) is selected either by pressing a mechanical or touch button, or by rotating the switch, the pointer of which is directed to a specific mode. Some models of automatic machines combine both types of control.
The device can have the following washing programs, depending on the type of fabric and intensity:
Determining the washing temperature
The temperature range is set from 30˚C to 95˚C. Do not focus solely on choosing the maximum temperature; follow these recommendations:
Selecting the spin intensity of the laundry
The spin intensity is set by the number of revolutions per minute. The better the spin, the less moisture will remain in things, and they will dry much faster.
Important! For delicate items, you need to choose the minimum spin intensity. And it is better not to wring out particularly delicate fabrics (silk, chiffon) in the machine at all.
Starting the washing process
The automatic machine starts by pressing the “On” button.
The cycle itself starts when you press the “Start” button, which, as we have already found out, can also combine the “Pause” function. If the process starts successfully, if there is an indicator, the washing time will be displayed on it. Modern units are equipped with a delayed start function, which is very convenient. For example, you can set a time to turn on the device while you are away from home, so that your clothes have time to be washed when you arrive. Or you can set the start time to 5 am so that the washing machine will finish working when you wake up in the morning, and you can pull out the already clean clothes.
End of cycle
When the operation is completed, the device will stop and a corresponding sound signal will sound.
After thirty seconds, the door lock will unlock and you will be able to remove the washed items. If the door does not open, this will indicate some kind of breakdown of the device. For general care of your car, wipe the drum and rubber seal on the door frame with a dry cloth, as this is where a lot of water often accumulates. To dry the drum compartment and prevent the formation of mold and mildew spores, leave the door slightly open.

Where to start checking
There are several reasons why the machine stops working completely or the program freezes.
In case of possible technical problems, it is better to contact specialists; some problems can be resolved on your own.
First of all, you need to monitor the work of the washing assistant and observe the following behavior:
- Washes longer than expected. Here the drain hose is checked and its correct connection to the sewer.
- The program does not start. If the machine does not start washing, then the problem lies in the lack of water in the water supply, an open hatch door, or a failure of the main computer.
- The machine does not turn on. In this situation, you need to check the power; if there is current, then the problem lies in the motor and you will need to call a technician.
- After spinning, the program does not end. If the washing assistant does not want to turn off, then the reason is an imbalance in the drum caused by improper distribution of laundry or wear on the motor brushes.
