Probably caused by using too much detergent. Because there are so many suds the machine uses more water and delays are caused when emptying as suds lock the pressure switch. Try using a quality detergent (Ariel is best) and MEASURING the recommended amount of detergent for your water hardness.
Also check the machine is levelled correctly – you shouldn’t be able to rock it back and forth.
Failing that call LG. Four and a half hours isn’t really acceptable for any wash – back in the day a 60C cotton wash would be done in an hour!
Re: LG F1247TD Washer – excessively long cycle
Hi,
I know somebody with an LG, that takes forever to do a load as well. It spends upto 20 minutes balancing the load before each spin, and while it is balancing the time display freezes. They got LG to take a look and the machine was deemed to be working properly by the manufactureres. Everything the machine does takes eons, the last spin takes 20 minutes as well, thats after it has balanced. :rolls:
By the way becareful with Ariel it is the soapiest (sp) washing powder I have ever come across, my Mums machine (IAR Siltal) cannot handle it, even underdosed it overflows out the drawer during interim spins. My 16 year old Bosch doesn’t like it either. The least soapy from my experimenting are Persil and Surf.
HTH,
Oliver.
