Setting up “My Program” in an LG washing machine

Setting up My program in an LG washing machine On newer models of LG washing machines, there is a peculiar mode called “My Program”. If you just select it and start the wash, nothing will happen, the machine will not react at all. What is the essence of this mode, what is it for and how to set up “My Program” in an LG washing machine so that it is really useful? Let's try to figure this issue out.

Purpose and settings of the program

If you try to run the program immediately after making your choice, nothing will work, why? The thing is that initially the mode does not have independent settings. This is done so that the user can independently set the necessary washing parameters, and then start the machine.

Using “My Program” you can select not only conditions such as spin and washing temperature, but also the cycle duration, as well as all the additional functions available. You can set all the necessary parameters using the corresponding buttons on the control panel after setting the program switch opposite the “My Program” mode. When everything is ready, you can press the start button and the wash will begin. why do I need my program?

This mode can be very useful if you often or even every time have to set the washing parameters yourself instead of choosing one of the programs presented. If you create your own program, it will be saved in the washer’s memory and will reproduce the specified parameters over and over again until you decide to change them. Also, it is possible to rename the mode; the name and parameters are stored in the SM memory.

Emergency stop and program reset

The instinctive action that users take when they need to turn off the washing machine urgently is to hold down the power button. Some people act even more radically and completely pull the cord out of the socket so that the machine stops working. It is strictly forbidden to do this, since a sudden shutdown may damage the electronic components of the SM. It's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Press the "Start/Stop" button. This button not only starts, but also stops the wash. The control board continues to receive power.
If you need to select another mode, set the selector to it and press the “Start” key again. To completely reset the program, you must set the selector to “Spin”.
Next, select the No Spin option. The number 1 will appear on the display, which signals that the water is draining and the machine is turning off.
All water will drain within 3 minutes.
After unlocking the hatch, remove the laundry.

Attention! Completely depriving the washing machine of power when there is water inside the drum risks flooding both your apartment and the neighbors below.

The only case when you can press the power button during operation is if the washing machine is frozen. In this case, you will need to wait 10 minutes until the basic settings are restored. Afterwards, you can turn on the washing machine and use it as if nothing had happened.
