when the manufactures put a quick wash feature on a washing machine why can you not load the drum to the full capacity of the machine? So , my particular washing machine is an 8KG model. If I use a 1hr quick wash the maximum allowed to put in the drum is 3kg I think it is. Do they say 3KG maximum because there is fraction of water that goes into the drum on a quick wash than on a full wash and thats why its a quick wash, because more water going in to fill tub = more time? I realise on a quick wash the amount of rinses is cut down to 1 and that the spin is shortened - but what are the consequences if you fill up the drum nearly all the way to the top of the drum and select quick wash, are they just not going to clean properly or are there other issues?

Hello - Im just wondering why when I put my Hotpoint WMUD843p washing machine onto fast wash 30 (30c) 800rpmthat the Drum rotates as its taking in water and washing powder but when I put it on fastwash 60 (60c) 14,000rpm does it fill up with soap powder and water then drum doesnt start rotating until the water level get to bottom of drum, then it rotates, then fills up but as its filling dont rotate whilst its filling? - its no big deal but I just cannot under stand why it rotates on 30c same time when filling but dont rotae same time when filling at 60c?
