I think ive never seen a washing machine that doesnt do a pre-determined amount of cycles. That exists? And I thought I had a rather sophisticated washing machine.
I think the way it normally would work would be to do the existing steps for a bit longer if necessary or stop them early if possible, but the washing machine I've got at the moment sometimes gets its timer all the way to one minute and then adds an extra ten and starts rinsing again. In theory, that should be less likely to happen if you're separating the washing by soiling levels like the manual says, but some of my family don't believe the manual.
Ah ok. I havent really read much of mines manual. But i did notice that the timer is often wrong, it seems to go slower than actual time. Would make sense if it is measuring something in the water and just putting an estimated timeon the display. I thought it was just a bad clock...
