Rebooting the Electrolux washing machine

In the event of a momentary failure, the washing machine may freeze. In order to return this type of device to full functionality, you can reset its preset settings. This can be done by restarting the Electrolux washing machine. Thus, you will be able to return it to working mode.

How can I restart the machine?

When the Electrolux washing machine freezes without completing the operating cycle, shows no signs of operation and does not respond to button presses, you can return it to operation by resetting the settings and starting the machine again. To complete this task and return the device to functionality, you should hold down the Start key and keep it pressed for ten seconds. This will cancel previously scheduled processes. After this, you should enter the settings again and turn on the operating mode you have chosen.

It is quite possible that you have a machine that was produced 10-15 years ago. Then you should move the program selector to the neutral position. As soon as the program execution stops, the green indicator on the housing will flash and then go out.

If this does not happen, there is a malfunction of the device or an erroneous interruption of its operation. If the program reset is unsuccessful, you should completely reboot the device. The procedure here will be as follows:

• switch the programmer to the neutral position;
• press and do not release the Start/Stop button for at least 5 seconds;
• disconnect the washing machine from the power supply by unplugging the plug from the socket;
• After waiting about 25 minutes, connect to the power supply again and initiate the program you have chosen.

If the device does not respond to pressing buttons or switching the handle, you must immediately disconnect it from the power supply. A failure in the power supply while the machine is executing a program can damage its control unit. If the measures you have taken to restore the operation of the device do not bring results, you should contact a service center.

It is necessary to remove water from the tank

Sometimes you urgently need to get into the drum of the machine and remove items of clothing. You need to do this, for example, if you forgot your smartphone, wallet or bank card in your jeans pocket. In this case, there is no need to completely reboot the washing machine control unit. All you need to do is pause the program, drain the water and remove the item you need from the drum. The order of operations here is as follows:

• stop the machine by holding down the Start/Stop button;
• move the operating mode switch to the neutral position;
• select the “Drain without spin” mode;
• We wait until all the water flows out until the door opens.

If the device fails, you can drain the water using the compartment with a garbage filter. This compartment is located at the bottom right of the front panel of the case and is closed by a special door. Before you drain the water through it, we recommend stocking up on rags and basins for water.

Sudden power outage

In the event of an unplanned power outage, the device should be disconnected from the network as soon as possible. For this purpose, you need to remove the plug from the socket. This way you will protect your washing machine from sudden power surges.

When power is restored, reconnect your device. If the reboot fails, the machine will continue executing the interrupted program.A number of Electrolux models provide a special mode in which, after a power failure, the device gets rid of water and remains in the neutral position. After this, you should set the desired mode again and re-initiate the program.

A number of Electrolux models have a special emergency mode, in which after a power failure the device gets rid of water and remains in the neutral position.

When faced with a particular short-term problem, you need to find out what caused it. Problems are divided into two categories:

• mechanical;
• software.

The first type of fault means that you will need a professional repairman. He will thoroughly determine what caused the malfunction, repair it and advise how to avoid this in the future.

In the second case, the control panel of the washing machine is blocked, and pressing its buttons is useless. To restore the equipment's functionality, unplug it from the power grid for approximately 30 minutes. Then reconnect and enable the operating mode of your choice.
