What to do if my Whirlpool Washer stops during the programme and 'Start/Pause' blinks?

  If your Whirlpool Washer stops mid-cycle and the 'Start/Pause' button is blinking, here's what might be happening: * **Rinse hold is activated:** You can stop Rinse hold by either draining the water or spinning the laundry. * **Programme was interrupted:** Ensure the door is fully closed and then press 'Start/Pause' to continue the programme. * **Safety system activated:** Check the 'Failure indicators' section. Also, make sure your water tap is open and the inlet hose isn't kinked.

  If your Whirlpool Washer isn't starting even after pressing 'Start/Pause', it could be due to these reasons: * **Door not properly closed:** Ensure the door is firmly shut until you hear a click. * **Key lock is activated:** Deactivate the key lock by pressing the button with the key symbol for at least 3 seconds.

  If your Whirlpool Washer isn't starting and no indicators are lit, consider the following: * **Not connected to mains:** Ensure the washer is properly plugged into the socket. * **Socket or fuse malfunction:** Test the socket with a lamp to check if it works. If there's a problem, have the faulty part repaired. * **Power breakdown:** The washing machine should automatically resume its cycle once the power is restored.
