My washing machine is taking very long to complete a cycle. It can stay at 21 minutes left on the timer for an hour. It seems this problem started months ago when the wash time would state 55 min but take 2 hours to complete...today I tried washing one load and it has taken so far 4 hours. Occasionally I will receive an error (not sure which one) but not every cycle.

Water valve and hose screens may be clogged letting very little water in and therefore taking a long time to fill.

I used to have the same problem. You should try to lower the amount of cloth in your washing machine. :) hope this will help.

SOURCE: LG WM2077CW (UE error code)

For "ue" an unbalanced load is sensed three times; re-adjust your load in the machine. What is the capacity of your machine, you could weigh your dry clothes........refer manual.

For e1, it could be a water sensor problem. Check to see if the inlet valve is okay and not clogged, water shd be in good pressure. If this is okay, open up behind after taking the plug off the wall. There is a thin tube coming from the switch area to the outlet pump area; disconnect this from the top carefully and blow into it, it should be free; if it is clogged you will hav a water level problem. Unblock and refit carefully.
.....& rate me if helped.

SOURCE: cycle takes forever

IE is Inlet Error. Turn off the water valves behind the washer and remove the hoses from the machine end. Look inside the spot the hoses were attached to, and use a plier to pull out the screen and clean it out. (probably only need to do the cold side) Re-instert screen(s), re-attach hoses, and turn valves back on. (Also, make sure hoses are not kinked behind machine.) Times displayed are estimates, and vary due to water fill rates, and load type and size. In your case, the water fill rate is the problem.

Hi,
The newer washers are much more gentle on your clothing, but they also take their time to do the job...
Yes, it can be a pain to have it take so long but your clothing will love you for it and will stay nice for you longer...you will also be using less water...

Not much you can do about it as the engineers that know all are the ones that program these things...

LG WT4970CW, time seems twice as long as indicated on countdown timer, I timed it and wash started at 54 minutes counting down, 20 minutes later timer was at 47 minutes is this normal, came with house
Not sure but I think it is normal, not even sure it is a countdown timer - illustration shows just a single large knob which presumably is the main programme selector, which is basically an electric clock that keeps pausing whenever the washer is busy filling, heating, etc. and moving on when it is time for the next function.

Modern cold fill, water economy washers tend to take much longer to complete a cycle with the shortest programmes taking more than an hour...

My LG dishwasher counter doesn't count down
Since you didn't give the model number, I looked at a general user manual for an LG dishwasher. It suggested that if the water is cold, it would take longer to wash the dishes. That suggests to me that a cold water temperature might prevent the timer from starting till the desired temp is reached. Could that be the problem? Could it be connected to a cold water supply rather than hot? Is the hot water set too low?

FOUR HOURS TO WASH TOWELS
That is not normal. Have the control circuit board tested for continuity. Either the cycle or timer section is out of wack and may need replacing.

I have a Hotoint Ultmia WMD947 washing machine. The countdown timer shows 1 minute left of cycle, but somtimes the cycle continues indefinately unless we restart with another programme, and even then it's...
It's probably due to the heating needing replacing. It may be covered in limescale if you're in a hard water area. My Bosch Logixx would stay at the 1 minute mark for a couple of hours, continually washing. If the wash cycle is not hot (you can feel the glass door to check) then it is very likely the failed heating element. You can order a spare for around 50 pounds (make sure you get exactly the right one for the model), and fit it yourself in around 30 minutes if you find the right online tutorial on YouTube. Replacing the heating element fixed my machine.

My kenmore stacked washer/dryer has a wash cycle that can last for 12 hours. it will ultimately finish and clothes will be cleaned properly but it takes long breaks during the cycle.
The time it takes to do a cycle is determined by the washing machine timer. That is driven by a clock motor. This is an older machine so what is happening is that the motor on the timer is stopping and starting. A replacement timer is sold only as a complete assembly. I'm fairly sure you washing machine does the best job in the world in cleaning cloths.
Hope this helps,
Best,
Mark

Why are there 6 hour 8 hour an 10 hour timers to defrost a self defrosting refrigerator
Good day,
The decision as what the time interval of a timer should be is determined by engineers and field tests.
There is more to the timer than interval. Timers are usually listed as 8 hours 21 minutes, 8 hours 30 minutes ect. The minutes is used to designate the time the control stays in defrost.
A general rule is if the interval is longer, the minutes in the defrost cycle is extended to compensate.
Other factors come into play such as the wattage of the defrost heaters and the defrost thermostat temperature.

The trend today, with timers is to extend the interval to make the machine more energy efficient.

There is never an issue to defrost more often then the original, but it will run the heaters more often, and cause increased operating cost and shortened heater life.
The short and long of it is you can use a 6 hour timer in any machine if the timer motor wiring is the same and the duration is long enough, but with the costs listed above.

When the timer gets down to 1 minute left and the machine is on the spin cycle, it takes another 10-20 minutes to finish the cycle. The total 40 min. cycle takes over an hour to complete. Does anyone know...
The timer is only an estimate. pull the botttom cover of the front of the machine. There is a cleanout on the water pump, if its clogged it could be the cause of your timer taking so long
