What is “My Program” on an LG washing machine?
Some modern LG washing machines have a “My Program” mode. Users do not immediately understand what this function is, since selecting it and pressing the “Start” button does not produce results. Let's figure out what this option is for and how to activate it.
Why this mode and how to start it?
I would like to warn you right away that this function will not start with one click. “My program” on the washing machine LG – this is a special mode without settings. The manufacturer has provided it for the convenience of users - the owner of the device can set his own washing parameters and record them in the intelligence memory.
“My program” allows users to create their own washing mode by adjusting the water heating temperature, spin speed, cycle time and other parameters.
How to set the settings is described in the instructions for the equipment. You need to turn the selector knob to the “My program” position and use the buttons on the dashboard to select the main cycle parameters:
- spin speed;
- water heating temperature;
- number of rinses;
- need for soaking, etc.
After the settings are set, all you have to do is press the “Start” button. The washing machine will start working. In this way you will write your own program in the memory of the intellect.
When the mode is set once, then it is activated in the usual way. Just select “My program” with the selector and press the “Start” button. You can overwrite the cycle settings at any time. This function appealed to many housewives.It is very convenient that you can set your own, optimal washing settings once, and then use this program as the factory one. This way you can customize the operation of the machine to suit you personally.
How to quickly stop the machine and remove the program?
Some users, without thinking about the harm that could be caused to their “home assistant”, stop the operation of the machine if necessary by holding down the power button. Others act even harsher - they pull the power cord out of the outlet. The manufacturer does not recommend either the first or second method.
An abrupt loss of power supply can lead to failure of the main electronic module of the washing machine.
How to stop a running program? The following actions must be taken:
- press the "Start/Pause" key. Thus, the operation of the washing machine will stop, but power will still be supplied to the control module;
- if you need to change the washing program, select the desired mode with the selector knob and press the “Start” button;
- If necessary, cancel the cycle completely, turn the programmer to the “Spin” position and use the button to adjust the speed to “No spin”. So the number “1” will appear on the display, the machine will drain the water and turn off.
After draining the water, after 2-3 minutes, the door will unlock automatically. You can remove the laundry from the drum and leave the “home assistant” alone. If the washing machine simply “freezes” and stops responding to the user’s commands, you will still have to abruptly turn off the power by unplugging the power cord from the outlet.
My program is for installation from a smartphone, and not using buttons on the dashboard.
