Hi, thanks for your reply! I have not watched it constantly, but It appears to be doing a normal wash, so there are the usual periods of washer filling, entering the powder compartment, wash, rinse, drain and spin. Pretty much a normal wash, apart from the fact it takes MUCH longer than it should! I have been using this cycle for a while, always assuming it only took 15 mins, but usually started the cycle just before going out, so its only recently that i realised it has been taking much longer! Im now beginning to wonder if the washer actually only does one cycle (almost like a default wash) and the program dial where you choose which cycle you want, doesnt actually work, or the inside parts are 'stuck' on once cycle!

Hi, I hope someone can help. Its a bit of an odd problem, as the washing machine 'does' work! My washing machine has an express cycle (number 9 on the dial) that is supposed to be 15 minutes long. However when I choose that cycle it lasts as long as a long cycle (probably 70 to 90 minutes) Im really not sure why this could be, but its fustrating as I would like to use this cycle fairly regularly, but its not an option. In all other respects the washing machine seems to work ok, although I generally only use one other cycle (number 3 on the dial) so dont really know if any of the other cycles work as they should. Hope you can help!
