The water was turned off while the washing machine was running.

The water was turned off while the washing machine was running. Washing machines are now in every or almost every home. They make life much easier for housewives... if everything goes according to plan. But no one canceled emergency situations. What, for example, should you do if the water is turned off during washing? Don't worry, this can happen to anyone, and there is an algorithm of actions for such cases.

Why is it better to interrupt washing?

Yes, that's the answer. Not everyone agrees with him, preferring to leave everything as is and wait until water begins to flow into the pipes again, and the machine, accordingly, resumes operation on its own. Technically, in this case, nothing terrible would have happened to the unit itself, if not for one thing. You all know what quality water begins to flow into apartments after water pipes are repaired and the water supply is turned off. It comes out rusty and muddy, with a lot of large debris and impurities. Now imagine washing your clothes in this.

Important! In addition to the fact that the laundry will have to be washed after such water procedures, the flow filter is also in serious danger. It is designed for much smaller particles of contaminants, impurities and other things.

Therefore, if the water supply stops while the machine is running, it is best to stop the wash, wait until the water drains and remove the laundry from the drum. After turning on the water, periodically open the tap in the bathroom and look at the quality of the water. As soon as it becomes familiar, you can reload the machine. after pipe repairs are completed, water can be supplied as follows

If you don't want to take out and load laundry into the drum several times, you can leave it there, but then make sure that the water supply to the drum is stopped. Otherwise, your items will inevitably come into contact with dirty water after it is turned on.

What actions should be taken?

We figured out why we need to stop washing. Now we need to answer the question: how to do this. Before carrying out the procedure, find out from the housing office how long the water supply will be out in order to plan your further actions.

Now find the “Start-Pause” button on the panel. On some models it is called “Stop-pause”, “Start-stop”, etc. There can be many variations, but the meaning is the same, so finding such a button will not be so difficult. After pressing, hold for 5 seconds.
On the electronic panel or by the light of the corresponding indicator, you will understand that the washing program has been reset and you will hear that the machine has stopped working.
Now turn off the water supply tap to the washer.
You can turn on the spin mode (it doesn't require water), but you don't have to do this if you don't want to.
Remove all items from the drum.
Disconnect the machine from the power supply. This can be done by removing the plug from the socket.

Now your task is to wait for the water to be connected and control its quality. Once you are sure that the water is flowing and fairly clean, return the laundry to the drum, connect the machine to all networks (plumbing and electricity) and press the same button again. The washing cycle will resume from the point where it ended.

However, it is also important to understand at what stage of the wash the water was turned off while the washing machine was running.For example, if the machine was spinning, it is really better to leave everything as is, because water does not affect the spin in any way. Just to be safe, turn off the water supply tap, and otherwise allow the unit to quietly complete the washing process.
