As some of you already know I changed the tacho coil of my washing machine.
I have done right now a test (quick 30 minutes) and it seems to be working fine although the centrifuge at the end seems to take a very long time, longer than 5 minutes.
Honestly I don’t remember how long it used to take but it worried me and so I decided to terminate the program.My questions are
1)
Is using the quick 30 minutes program a good idea if you want a washer to last?
(I believe this point was not addressed in the “quick wash” thread)
I confess I used that program all the time…
I wonder if it played a part in the tacho coil failing
2)
Is it normal for a centrifuge to last 5 or > minutes?
3)
Am I getting paranoid?
Re: A question on quick wash and centrifuge
A quick wash is meant to refresh clothing rather than washing them as such. For very light soiled clothing, clothing that has been stored for months or brand new clothes yet to be worn but needing the ‘dressing’ taking from the fibres.
Final spin cycles can last 10 minutes or more by the way.
