Lg washing machine woes? here’s the foolproof guide to intervening mid-cycle

Interruptions happen, and when they do, knowing how to stop your LG washing machine mid-cycle is crucial. Whether you need to add forgotten items, adjust the settings, or simply pause the cycle, this guide will provide step-by-step instructions to effortlessly halt your washing machine’s progress.

Safety First: Unplug the Machine

Before touching any controls, always unplug the washing machine from the power outlet. This safety measure prevents any accidental shocks or electrocution while handling its electrical components.

Pause the Cycle

To pause the current cycle, press the “Pause/Start” button once. The washing machine will immediately stop agitating and draining. The LED display will indicate the remaining time in the cycle.

Reset the Cycle

If you need to restart the cycle from the beginning, press and hold the “Pause/Start” button for 3 seconds. The washing machine will drain any remaining water and reset the cycle to its initial settings.

Cancel the Cycle

To completely cancel the cycle and drain the water, press and hold the “Power” button for 3 seconds. The washing machine will drain the water and turn off.

Open the Lid

Once the washing machine has stopped, carefully open the lid. Do not force the lid open if it is still locked; this could damage the machine. Wait a few minutes for the lock to release automatically.

Add Items or Adjust Settings

If you need to add forgotten items, simply place them in the drum and close the lid. The washing machine will automatically detect the additional weight and adjust the cycle accordingly.

To adjust the settings, press the appropriate buttons on the control panel. You can change the cycle type, temperature, spin speed, and other options. Once you have made the desired changes, **press the “Start” button** to resume the cycle.

Resume the Cycle

To resume the cycle from where it was paused, press the “Pause/Start” button again. The washing machine will continue the cycle from the point at which it was stopped.
