How to turn on the spin cycle on an LG washing machine?
Modern washing machines have a clear interface, so the user, having studied the instructions for the equipment, can easily figure out how to start the main washing modes. An interesting situation is observed with machines of a famous brand: using the program switch knob, you cannot separately turn on the spin cycle on an LG washing machine. The programmer allows you to select only the “Rinse plus spin” option. How to activate the laundry spin directly?
Instructions for activating the spin cycle
Running only the spin mode on LG washing machines is very simple. After turning on the washing machine, the user should not immediately turn the programmer knob to select the appropriate program. In fact, you don't need a selector at all. To activate the spin cycle, you must use exclusively the button of the same name located on the control panel. The sequence of actions will be as follows:
- press the network button (which turns on the equipment);
- wait until the indicators on the control panel light up and the machine emits a characteristic sound signal;
- press the “Spin” key several times to set the desired drum rotation speed. At this time, the display will show the approximate time of the process;
- Start the washing machine by pressing the “Start” button. Wait for the equipment to wring out the laundry and remove the water from the tank.
By following the mentioned instructions exactly, you can be sure that the washing machine will not begin to collect water for rinsing, but will immediately begin spinning. Having selected the “Rinse plus Spin” program using the selector, be prepared that the device will first collect liquid, rinse things and only then begin spinning.And this promises an extra 10 minutes of equipment operation and several dozen wasted liters of water.
Some LG washing machine models do not respond to the algorithm described above.
This is not a reason to be upset; you can run “Spin” separately like this:
- turn on the automatic machine, use the selector to select the “Rinse and Spin” mode;
- turn off the equipment by pressing the power key. The intellect will remember the last command given to it;
- turn on the washer again. At this stage, it is important not to touch the programmer knob;
- press the “Spin” key as many times as needed to set the optimal speed;
- start the program by pressing the "Start" key.
A little trick will help the user turn on the spin. If using the described methods it was not possible to start the mode, your “home assistant” probably has problems with the software, or a couple of buttons on the control panel do not work. In this case, you should invite a specialist to carry out diagnostics.
Disabling spin
When washing some types of fabrics, it is not advisable to use a spin cycle. Such a restriction can be set by the manufacturer who released the item. Sometimes you yourself want to carefully and delicately wash a batch of your favorite clothes.
On LG models, you can disable the spin function in almost every factory wash program.
In general, you can immediately select a mode that does not involve spinning the laundry. If this option is not suitable, simply turn the programmer knob to the desired program. Then, using the button on the control panel that regulates the number of revolutions, set “No spin”. The washing will proceed as usual, but at the end of the rinsing, the machine will simply drain the remaining water from the tank and notify you that the process is complete.
The machine turns off the spin cycle, but rinses with the spin cycle. What to do?
