Understanding the Refresh Cycle in IFB Washing Machines

When to Use the Refresh Cycle

1. Use this cycle for clothes that have been stored in a cupboard for a long time and have developed a musty smell.
2. Ideal for garments that have been worn for a short duration and do not have visible stains or sweat marks.
3. Perfect for removing odors like cigarette smoke or food smells from jackets, blazers, or dry-clean-only fabrics that need a quick air-out.
4. Note that this cycle typically uses steam or high-speed air circulation to sanitize and deodorize, rather than a traditional wash.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Ensure the water supply tap is turned on, as some Refresh cycles require a small amount of water for steam generation.
2. Check that the door is latched securely; the cycle will not initiate if the safety sensor detects an open door.
3. Verify that the drum is not overloaded, as the Refresh cycle requires space for air or steam to circulate effectively through the fabric.
4. Clean the lint filter regularly, as debris buildup can interfere with the airflow required for the Refresh process.
