Look for some sort of daily or economy wash setting, my washer takes hours on the normal modes but there is a 30 min daily wash setting which works fine. I remember the one at my parents house had a similar one but I think it was called economy mode rather than daily wash.

Best bet is to look up the settings on the net for your washer model.

what the hell is the difference though, a wash is a wash aint it

think the missus is right, we DO need a new washing machine

only got it as my old man bought me a dyson then hes packed up and was going though issues so gave him the dyson and i bought a cheep built in one till i got the cash for a proper one

think ill take the rest of my clothes round my parents

I genuinely didn't know Dyson did washing machines too. You learn something new every day.

Can't help with your problem though.

Mine does the same. It has a 'super quick' button though, that brings it down to about 40 mins, so I use that all the time. Have a look for something sililar!

there should be a diagram on the front with what numbers do what.

youll probably find that the program 1 is not the one u want.

my old washing machine had the numbers missing from the dial so we had to replace it... lol

Do you not have telephones in your part of the country?



Either that or surely you have a female neighbour in somewhere

she works in a hospital, so i would have to call her department,, to ask how to use the washing machine !!!

honestly think about that for a moment,, as for asking a neighbour,,,, dont think i could live with the shame and they may also get insulted if i ask them too

wash as stopped now,,,

good job i know how to use the dishwasher and microwave,,, otherwise i may DIE if she left me instead of chilling on the sofa wearing a bathrobe for 2 days pmsl

Why's that an issue? Is she a surgeon undertaking delicate bowel surgery on a young orphan boy today or something?
