FAQs
How do I reset my Bush washing machine? ›
This will reset all of the onboard componentry and is often successfully used by appliance technicians. Open and close the door of the washing machine 6 times within 12 seconds. Then, run the rinse/spin cycle without clothing to see if your problems are resolved.
Why is my Bush washing machine not draining? ›Water failing to drain in a reasonable time
The normal drain time is approximately six minutes. If the water hasn't drained within this time it could be due to a blocked filter, an obstructed drain hose, or a defective level sensor switch or drain pump.
It means you should set the temperature on the washing machine to 30°C.
How do I force restart my washing machine? ›What you can do instead is power cycle it: Unplug it (or turn off power at the circuit breaker), wait some time for the electrical charge to clear out of the washer (usually 1 to 5 minutes at most), and then power it up again. This is the closest you can get to a "reset" of the washer.
How do I get my washer to work again? ›- Activate the power button.
- Test the outlet.
- Reset outlet if necessary.
- Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
- Check if fuses are blown or the circuit breaker is thrown.
- See if Delay Start has been pushed.
- See if Control Lock has been activated.
If the washer won't drain or spin, either something is stuck in the washing machine drain hose or pump, or the pump is broken. If a washer won't drain or spin, the fix is simple if you're even just a little bit handy with tools.
Why is my washer not draining or spinning? ›If your washer won't drain, the first thing to inspect is the drain hose. If this part is clogged, frozen or bent, water won't be able to flow out—which will leave all the liquid in the tub. Make sure the drain hose isn't kinked or twisted in a way that obstructs the flow of water.
How do I know if my drain pump is clogged? ›Remove the drain hose by unscrewing the clamps holding it to the pump outlet. Look for blockages inside the hose, says Family Handyman. If you don't see any, the pump may be blocked or faulty. To check it, you have to disconnect the belt connecting it to the drive motor.
What happens if you don't clean washer filter? ›A clogged washing machine filter will also develop mold and mildew if it isn't cleaned regularly. Spores will get into your clothes during the wash and cause allergic reactions if you're not careful. The machine will have a shorter lifespan without regular cleaning or maintenance.
How do you know if your washing machine filter is blocked? ›- You notice a buildup of laundry detergent or laundry softener residues on clothes.
- The clothes do not dry as fast as they usually would.
- The clothes don't dry at all.
- You notice a lot of lint falling off when the screen is inside the appliance.
Are you supposed to clean your washer filter pump? ›
While these pumps are technically self-cleaning, running a short, empty wash cycle to flush lint and buildup from the filter once every 1-3 months can help to keep the machine running properly.
What is the quickest wash on a Bush washing machine? ›For timely laundry loads, there's a 15-minute quick wash function, offering reliable cleaning in rapid time.
Is a quick 30 wash enough? ›A 30-degree wash is fine for clothes that need a general wash rather than targeted stain removal. However, the NHS website says that underwear, towels and household linens should be washed at 60 degrees to prevent the spread of germs.
What temperature should you wash towels on? ›For household washing machines, the best temperature to wash towels at is at around 40 degrees. Washing at 40 degrees will ensure your towels stay feeling and looking their best for longer, whilst removing most of the germs that breed there.
Why is my washing machine not responding? ›When a washing machine won't turn on or stops during a cycle, it's usually a problem with the power source. Check your circuit breaker first; it may simply need to be reset. However, if it is tripping every time you plug the washing machine in then you may have a bigger issue that an electrician will need to solve.
How do you reset a washing machine without unplugging it? ›Washers Without a Reset Button
If it isn't possible to access the washing machine's plug to manually reset the washer, turn off the circuit breaker. Leave it off from 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the machine model or instructions in the owner's manual.
A first step when troubleshooting any appliance is to confirm that it's drawing power. If your washing machine isn't showing any signs of life, check that the machine is plugged in. You can also test the outlet with another appliance, such as a phone charger.
What is the most common problem with washing machine? ›The most common issue is when the washer is filled up with too many clothes or linens, which can stop the washer from being able to spin around. So, check that it isn't overloaded, and if it is, remove some stuff from it.
Is it worth repairing a 5 year old washing machine? ›Replace: An older machine that breaks down frequently and has needed several repairs in the past few years could keep hurting your wallet. Consider making the switch to a new appliance if your old one is more than 50% through its life expectancy and the cost of a repair would be more than half the cost to replace.
What is the average life of a washing machine? ›The average life of a washing machine ranges from 10 to 13 years, although some brands can manufacture washing machines with an even longer lifespan than the average appliance. So, while you are on the hunt for your new washing machine, you won't have to wonder “how long should a washing machine last” anymore.
How do you clear the code on a washing machine? ›
To remove the code, press pause or cancel button twice and the power button once. If the code is still displayed, unplug the washer or disconnect the power for one minute. Items were detected in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Remove items from the drum and restart the Clean Washer cycle.
How do I unlock my washing machine door Bush? ›Turning off the machine at the mains should allow the door lock to cool down, and after a few minutes, you'll be able to open the washing machine door. The interlocks can take some time to release at the end of the cycle, so be patient. The most common cause is water left in the machine. Try running a spin/drain cycle.
Why won't my washing machine finish its cycle? ›Some of the most common faults that will make your washer stop mid cycle include thermostat failure, problems filling up with water for the rinse cycle, or even pump problems that prevent your washer from draining. One thing that you can check yourself is the lid switch.
What causes a washing machine to not spin and drain? ›Top reasons washers won't spin or drain
The coupler can wear out over time or fail, especially if the tub is consistently overloaded. Similarly, a drive belt can wear out, break, or slip on the pulleys. In both cases, the tub won't spin until the worn coupler or damaged belt is replaced.
