How to Reset your Washing Machine
Usually there are no such situations faced until now where this machine needed resetting but still if it is not working then perform a simple resetting procedure. Press the power button to turn off the machine and then wait for a minute or two. Press the button again to turn on the machine. If this strategy doesn’t work we have to go for a master reset. This method is basically used by the technicians where onboard components are completely reset back to point zero. You are required to keep opening and closing the door of the washing machine at least 6 times within 12 seconds. In order to check if your problems are resolved press the button of spin/rinse cycle with no clothes inside the machine. Problem is over if draining works. Next step will be unclogging if the matter is nit resolved.
Unclogging:
Whenever you move the machine or need to make some kind of changes in it, you have to turn off the machine from the power button. An error may be caused if your drain hose is bent. Set it at an accurate position. Pull the washer from its place where you can make your way to the host entry point that is attached with some screws. You must clog out some water through the hose. The best connection that can work well is an outdoor hose. You can apply this technique with a stick or any other long object. Remove the blockage by running the hottest cycle on your machine with no clothes inside if you are not able to remove the drain hose. Now, attach the drain hose to your machine as soon as the water starts flowing steadily. The end of drain hose must not be more than 12 cm and it should be straight.
