How do you reset the water stopper of a washing machine or washer dryer combination?
Reset water stopper in 3 steps
With the steps below, you can reset the water stopper. Check if your water stopper is separate or built into the hose.
- Step 1. Close the faucet
- Step 2. Detach the water hose
- Step 3. Push the red pin
- Step 4. Attach the water hose
Step 1: close the faucet
First, you close the faucet. Place a bucket underneath the faucet, so you can easily collect the water that's still in the hose.
Step 2: detach the water hose
Unscrew the supply hose with water stopper from the faucet. Do you have a separate water stopper between the hose and faucet? Unscrew just the hose and leave the water stopper on the faucet.
Step 3: press the red pin
There's a red pin inside the water stopper. When you press it, you reset the water stopper. Can't find the pin? It'll be behind the valve inside the water stopper. Carefully unscrew this with a screwdriver and press the pin.
Step 4: attach the water hose
After resetting, you can connect the water hose to the faucet or separate water stopper again. Put a bucket under the faucet and open it carefully. No water leaking from the hose? It's connected correctly. Open the faucet entirely, so you can start washing again.
