My washing machine has been taking an extra long time to finish its wash cycle. Sometimes up to 2 hours. Any suggestions on possiblities would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise it is working great. I bought it new 4 years ago.
Thank you.

My machine wouldn't spin propely and it turned out that the problem was that the water was not draining fast enough. I found several coins in the drain boot and some nickels clogging the artery right before the pump. See http://www.applianceaid.com/frigidaire_frontload_washer3.html
for a description as to how to get at the pump. To reassemble, I used a vice grip to hold the clamps open to make it easy to get the hoses on the tubes

All front loading washers will fill and drain multiple times before it finishes. Unlike a top loader, a front loading washer will take longer to run because there is no agitator and will fill with water and drain multiple times. A front loader is more energy efficient than a Traditional top loading washing machine. A washer dryer combo will take hours to complete a cycle.
The given details about the washing machine problem are also happening with many users and they also do not know how to make it solved. The repair is necessary in this case and the similar issue I have also gone through and took the help of https://uaetechnician.ae/washing-machine-repair
Select a quick wash cycle which will take in less time to load water , rinse and spin, Also choose with a smaller load. check the INLET water pressure to be good, check the drain to be effective, if not clean both the valves..
Front Loading Washing Machine: Fully automatic. 1. Better washing than toploading as technologically proofed. 2. No extra effort except putting cloths and detergent inside.3. No need to observe
in between while washing.Start and forgot. You can go market and come back. 4. No issue if electricity or water went out during washing. 4. Take more water compare to toploading semi-automatic. 5. You can not open it once it started.
Top Loading Washing Machine: Semi 1. Save water and detergent. 2. Need extra effort to put the cloth from one box to another.

Most machines have a soil level selection (light / normal / heavy) and if you select light soil level the wash time is reduced. Also, some machines have a " Quick Cycle " which cuts a lot of time off, which should only be used with lightly soiled clothing. Additionally, make sure you have adequate water pressure, and that the inlet screens are clear so that the cycle is not delayed essesivly due to slow water fill. Regardless of all these, the higher spin speeds of a front loading machine (those have the longest wash times, due to the low water use and the tumbling wash action used vs an agitator in a top load machine) will result in reduced dryer run time, thus helping to reduce the overall time a load takes to wash and dry. (although still longer than most top loading sets) Generally, the energy savings and larger load sizes will outweigh the extra time the machines take.
WHEN YOU WASH IS THE WATER HOT ENOUGH IN A REASONABLE TIME? ALSO DOES THE WASHER SENCE THE AMOUNT OF SOAP THATS IN THE TUB. IT COULD BE GIVING ADDITIONAL RINCES TO REDUCE THE SOAP CONTENT.(TRY WITH NO SOAP IN SYSTEM AND SEE IF TIME IS SHORTER)
