Night program in the washing machine

Bosch washing machine night program Every year, household appliances become more convenient and economical - due to expanded functionality and improved technology. A striking example would be the night mode in a washing machine. It allows you to use two-tariff meters and start washing while you sleep. You just need to know how the program works and how it is configured. All features and nuances of activation are below.

Features of the night program

The key advantage of the night wash program is its quietness. When this mode is activated, the washing machine operates as quietly as possible: the drum rotates smoothly, and the spin speed is reduced to a minimum of 600-800. The sound of the cycle is also automatically turned off.

The remaining washing parameters can be adjusted manually:

temperature – up to 95 degrees;
washing time – from 60 minutes (depending on the degree of water heating);
delayed start – up to 12-24 hours (depending on the machine model);
additional rinse is available.

When the “Night Wash” program is activated, the machine runs quieter.

It is worth understanding that even a washing machine equipped with a modern inverter motor will not be able to operate silently. Night washing is quieter due to the slow rotation of the drum and the disabled sound signals, but the hum from the motor, shaft and pump is still audible. If the machine is installed next to the bedroom, and the residents of the house are light sleepers, then it is better not to turn on the equipment at night. In other situations, the “lunar” program will become a convenient function.

Activating the night program

Starting night mode is simple. First of all, you need to activate the delay start so that the washing machine finishes the cycle in time for the owners to wake up.If you turn on the program before going to bed, then by 2-3 am the machine will finish washing, and the wet laundry will lie in the drum for the remaining 3-5 hours. Such a long “rest” is dangerous for the fabric - it becomes more wrinkled and acquires a musty smell.

To prevent laundry from sitting, you need to adjust the delayed start of the cycle as follows:

calculate the time so that the cycle is completed by morning;
find the wash delay indicator on the dashboard (in bold);
press the button a certain number of times;
check if the timer is set correctly.

The delayed start function allows you to delay the start of the cycle for 6-24 hours.

Next, all that remains is to set the night function. Select the appropriate position with the programmer and adjust the indicators: temperature and cycle duration. The speed cannot be increased - the maximum limit is 600-800 per minute. It is also possible to activate the pre-wash option easy ironing and an additional rinse.

On some machines, the algorithm for turning on the night program may differ. To avoid making mistakes with the settings, you must carefully study the factory instructions. It must contain a description of all modes and their activation.

The best washing machines with night modes

Almost every brand produces washing machines with night washing capabilities. As a rule, the implementation of this program on most machines is the same, but the overall power and functionality of the equipment are very different. To find the best washing machine, in addition to the sleep cycle, it is recommended to look at other parameters. A brief overview of the most popular models with a “quiet” mode will help in finding the optimal “assistant”.

Among the disadvantages, users note increased energy consumption (class B) and large dimensions of the equipment (case depth - 50 cm).

Bosch also has silent washing machines. Two models with night washing are in demand: WLG 20240 and WLP20265OE. The first is cheaper and is a free-standing “front-facing” unit weighing 5 kg.
