Modern washing machines perform all their functions automatically by a predetermined program, which is almost impossible to influence the mechanically in the middle of the process. However, sometimes there are emergencies when there is a need to stop the washing machine during washing to perform any additional actions, then some actions can be performed to stop.
Most models, the "Start" button is also a button "Pause" or "Stop". And after the door lock occurred, the washing began and the drum is not filled with completely water, then you can press the "Start" button for a few seconds to stop the process, and waiting for the unlocking the doors, perform the necessary action. For example, to report a few things or, on the contrary, lay out the objects mistakenly.Any compulsory shutdown of the washing machine directly affects the software of this technique, which subsequently can cause interruptions in its operation, and therefore use such shutdowns only in an emergency situation. It is best to wait for the completion of the full cycle of the program being executed and at the end of doing what it took during washing.
