Hi

This is the first time I have had a dishwasher so am unsure about how long a wash generally takes. In the instruction manual it says the eco wash is 105 mins but when I put in on this programme its actually 135 mins. Is this normally how long it takes?
Thanks, Elsa

Mine takes ages on the eco wash. There seems to be 30 minutes at the end of the programme when nothing happens and then a quick hot drying blast before the programme actually ends.

it can depend on your water pressure & if perhaps the waste pipe is kinked / restricted ... the "fill" function and the "empty" function are both time limited so if they take longer than the manufacturers parameters then the machine will stop and not progress to the next part of the cycle ... therefore if the flow of water is restricted or low and the waste pipe is also the duration of the cycle will exceed the "laboratory condition times" that the machine is timed & tested in.
