Question about Candy AQW130 Front Load Washer / Dryer

Faulty on off button

My machine has a faulty on/off button. Currently I can't switch it off, which is a problem as it's full of washing. I can't therefore open the door. I suspect a problem with the button mechanism. Anybody got any ideas on how I can open the washer to release the button and get my washing out.

How to soak somethings overnight in my new LG washer ?

The method we use on our LG WF 8071TTP top-loader:

Load stuff to be soaked.
Add soap.
Set load size and water inlets.
Start wash cycle.
Wait until water is full, and begins washing.
Press Start/Pause button.
Press Auto Stop button to switch machine off.

Next morning:
Press Auto Stop button to switch machine on.
Press Start/Pause button.
The fuzzy logic (if machine has this) will register that machine is full, and washing will continue.

Hi I have a MVW200XWZ it has filled with water, will not wash or drain, the sense light will come on steady when you press the start button. You can hear a hum but no action. Any ideas? Thanks

The most common cause of this is that the lid safety switch is defective.

Spins when empty. Why not when full?

When the machine is full, the built in sensor triggers a switch to let the machine know there are clothes inside. Check the sensors and/or switch, as they may be faulty.
