A standard 40min. cycle takes 1 to 1-1/2 hours to complete seems like the rinse and spin cycle takes fore ever.
I have replaced the water pump already.
I belive you have a bad microcomputer part number 8182695R ,,, if it dont cycle as should it will set in one place to long and take forever to finish its cycle / larry ,,,, if you like i can check on one for you if it will help
May seem that the pump had problems, but since you already replace it then that means that it wasn't the pump at all. You might me experiencing a fault into the programing of the timer itself being that it takes to much time to cycle trough all the steps. Better to have it reprogrammed or get a replacement for this issue, not very common issue what happened to you. Good luck!
Sounds that the timer can gone bad. If you can give us the make and model number, we can look for repair options.
The motor may not be spinning enough or fast enough for the cycles. so the sensor that say there is still water in the tub make it spin longer. watch your washer and let me know if it still spins as fast as it used to or not. you may need to replace your motor
Although you replace the drain pump is the water draining properly??? perhaps there is an obstruction in the drain hose itself, or even an issue with your drain pipe(standpipe drain hnose is in),if the machine os having an issue cycling past the rinse, it might be an unbalanced load, if hte machine cant properly balance the load it will never acheive high speed spin, it will however try to balance itself by changing rotation of wash, trying to repositon clothing, to get a better balance( internal sensors are determining bal)instead og shoutting off to bother you to do manually soits quite possible that there is no issue buit the machine is doing what it needs to. errors with this machihne will come back to you in a "f Code",
Well, 1-1/2 hrs is normal for your washer. All front load washers take a
long time. They wash a lot better than top loaders....
If it takes more time for drain or something , than it might be a concern............
However, to be on a safer side :) Lets troubleshoot
I would start by removing the hose off the pump that goes to the back wall of
the washer and blow through it to make sure there are no obstructions. Also
check the other hose from the tub to the pump. If there is, find and clear it.
If not, read on. We need to make sure the transmission is working properly
before going any further. When operating properly, this washer should drain all
excess water (full load setting) in less than 180 seconds. That is the maximum
neutral drain time for this particular washer. If you start the machine on a
normal cycle with a 10 minute minimum agitate time, the transmission should not
spin when it begins to drain. It is very important that you not disrupt the
machine during this test, so use a small screwdriver to "trick" the lid switch,
so you can have the lid open to see if it spins. If it doesn't spin while
draining, then the transmission is okay. If it does begin spinning and draining
at the same time, immediately reset for another 10 minutes of agitate and try
again. You may have to run this test 1-5 times for an accurate neutral drain
test. The most common failure of these transmissions is neutral drain failure.
As I stated before, if the unit is spinning and draining at the same time, it
won't be able to get rid of the water in time because the resistance of the tub
trying to spin will slow down the motor which, in turn, slows down the pump. If
the transmission doesn't spin while draining, see how long it takes to expell
all the water; it should be less than 180 seconds. If it takes longer than that,
there is some kind of restriction in the drain system. Anything from a kinked
hose to a sock in the hose, or even a restricted house drain when the washer
drain hose is sealed to the standpipe. If your washer drains to a floor drain,
there should also be a siphon break in the drain line that may be bad or
plugged. Let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks.

I do beleive all the water is being pumped out,it just seems like it rinses drains and spins over and over with out the time remaining display going down for example the machine may run for 30 min. but only 3 or 4 min. will run down on the time remaining display.
I am having problems with the wash cycle time a 40 min cycle can take 1 to 1-1/2 hours I had one response saying the timer knobe is the problem this machine is all electronic it has no control switch only a User interface assembly, which is a $117 part I would like to have more clairification on this problem.
Note I have replaced the water pump which was bad. and one other note the machine has diognostic test procedure that can be run and the machine passes this test fine.
One of the test in the on board diagnostic test is motor rpm it passes the test fine.
I have the same problem with my GE WHDVH626 front loading washer.
