The process of putting a washer into pause mode may vary depending on the brand and model of the washing machine. However, here are some general steps that are commonly used to pause a washing machine:
Locate the Pause or Start/Pause Button: Look for a button on the control panel of the washing machine that is labeled "Pause" or "Start/Pause." This button is usually prominent and easy to identify.
Press the Pause Button: While the washing machine is running, press the "Pause" or "Start/Pause" button once. The machine should stop its current cycle and enter pause mode. You might hear a beep or see a light indicating that the machine is now in pause mode.
Wait for the Machine to Pause: Give the washing machine a moment to fully pause. Some machines may take a few seconds to complete the pause process.
Resume or Cancel the Cycle: In pause mode, you can usually perform different actions, depending on your machine's features:
- To resume the cycle: Press the "Pause" or "Start/Pause" button again. The machine should continue the cycle from where it left off.
- To cancel the cycle: If you wish to stop the cycle completely, press the "Cancel" or "Power Off" button. This will end the current cycle, and you'll need to start a new one when you're ready.
Please note that the specific buttons and functionalities may vary between different washing machine models and brands. If you're unsure about how to pause your particular washing machine, it's essential to refer to the user manual or look up the model-specific instructions online.
