The whole wash was estimated 72 minutes when it started.
It weighs the clothes by inertia in the beginning, I didn’t overload, and the water comes in fast through thick pipes, so there’s no excuse for this.
How dumb must the program be to estimate one minute left in the beginning of the rinse cycle with two rinses and a spin cycle to go?
The building and presumably the machine were made 2018, and the maintenance log on the side says many repairs have been made since, so the software must have been updated many times already.
Must run Windows 95
I have the same problem with the machines at my apartment. Actually, I think it’s worse because it’s not supposed to be an estimate; you pay based on time and you set the time yourself. I set the dryer to 45 minutes and it sometimes takes up to an hour and a half. At least it isn’t charging me for the extra time.
I lived in an apartment complex like this. Management didn’t bother to ever clean the dryer vents, so it would take for. ev. er. to dry. It’s a wonder the laundry building didn’t catch on fire.
Mine has no idea what the fuck time even is. 1 minute almost never shows up, normally it stops at 4 minutes left. But 4 minutes doesnt mean it’s nearly done, it might be about to pop this very second but also half an hour seems like a good time.
I’ll put the fucker on for a 30 minute cycle, have a shower, get dressed and come back to 29 minutes. Idk why it even bothers with a timer if it’s literally never accurate.
ITT: OP just wants to vent, now he literally has homework instead.
check the waste pipes carrying water away from the machine because there’s a blockage somewhere.
If it helps, the dryer in our apartment makes a super loud buzzing for 10 seconds twice whenever it finishes unless you twist the dial to stop it early. And by loud, I mean you hear it from your neighboring apartments too. And it’s not a bug, we checked. It’s a feature.
Check the water filtering bit on the waste, it’s not draining as quickly as it thinks it should be
Reminds me of our Palo Alto Panorama server. Commit jumps up to 99% after 30 seconds and sits there for the next 4-6 minutes, sometimes more.
You know what that means - sounds like your washer needs some good old fashioned Generative AI!
Imagine you can set a theme of your choice like “Star Trek technobabble” for little explanations for the delay.
“Delay due to chirality recalibration of phase discriminating amplifier for positronic brain…”
Might literally be one of the best use cases I’ve seen so far!
“Reconfiguring the primary power coupling” is my explanation when people ask of how I’m fixing something when I’m just unplugging it, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in.
Whenever my wife and I are talking about our washer and drier we joke that it has “13 left” (instead of “13 minutes left”) because the UI only says 13 and it often goes up again lol.
To co-sign on the stupidity of embedded washing machine firmware, if we lose power, the next time you start the washing machine you’re presented with an error message saying the power has failed. Like, no duh. You have to acknowledge the error message before you can start a new load.
Is this Finnish dryer?
Finnish late dryer.
Microsoft Washer ?
Wash 1% complete… 2% complete… 5% complete… 15% complete… 15% complete… 15% complete… 15% complete… 15% complete… 15% complete… 99% complete… 99% complete… 99% complete… 99% complete…
This happens once in a while with my washer as well. My determination is that it starts to spin and is so far out of balance that it has to refill and swirl the clothes around a bit, then drain it to hopefully get a more even balance of mass so that it can properly spin. It’s much worse when there are large items, like a blanket that tend to lump on one side.
Time is relative.
Lunch undoubtedly so
Hate to be pedantic. But it’s “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so”
Gonna need an attribution to go with that quotation, pedant.
