How to turn off the spin cycle on a Bosch washing machine?

Some items made from delicate fabrics cannot be wrung out after washing. Clothing manufacturers warn about this by putting a special designation on the label. Then it is important for housewives not to forget to turn off the spin cycle in the Bosch washing machine before activating the cycle. Let's figure out how to launch the program and remove this function.

How to turn it off?

It is very easy to disable automatic spinning. The procedure is described in detail in the equipment instructions. If the user manual is lost, you can figure it out yourself. The “Spin” button on the control panel will help you disable the function.

It is this key that controls the rotation speed of the drum during spinning. To start washing with the option turned off, you should:

• load laundry into the drum;
• pour detergent into the tray;
• press the power button of the washing machine, wait until the machine blinks its indicator “welcomely”;
• use the programmer to select the desired washing program;
• press the “Spin” button and watch how the symbols on the display change;
• click until the crossed out spin icon appears on the display;
• start the cycle.

Not any program can be used to wash without spinning. If you choose exactly this, then either set the minimum drum rotation speed, or start another washing mode.

On older Bosch models, the spin speed is controlled by a rotating knob; in this case, you just need to turn the pointer to the corresponding icon. On more modern washing machines - a touch or mechanical button. In any case, when disabling the function for the first time, it is better to study the instructions for the machine. The required algorithm of actions is described in detail there.

What does this give to the owner?

Sometimes, a no-spin mode is simply necessary to wash an item in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. This is the only way to preserve the shape of the product and its brightness, without spoiling the fabric. Delicate materials such as silk, jacquard, wool and the like will not withstand intense rotation in the drum.

You will also have to wash viscose, faux fur items, membrane fabrics, lace, and clothes with complex decor without spinning. Glued or sewn decorations will simply come off during rapid spinning in the washing machine. It is also prohibited to squeeze “fragile” organza, veil, etc. in an automatic machine.

In addition, turning off the spin cycle extends the life of the washing machine. The machine does not need to “drive” the drum at high speeds for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture from the fabric. This reduces the load on the engine, bearing assembly and associated elements. The main parts of the equipment wear out much more slowly.

By running the no-spin mode, you can minimize the negative impact on the internal components of the washing machine.

In addition, a program with the spin switched off will end faster than a standard cycle. Typically, Bosch machines spend 15 minutes on this procedure. Disabling the function will reduce the washing time, which is very important if you are in a hurry to hang out your laundry. Another plus is savings. The washing machine does not work as long, therefore, it “eats” less kilowatts.

By turning off the active spin, you can achieve almost silent operation of the machine. Basically, the equipment vibrates precisely when performing this function. Therefore, you can safely set the delayed start so that washing starts at night.
