Question about Electrolux EW1200i Front Load Washer / Dryer

Wash cycles far too long!

Just acquired a flat to let out, but the new tenants say the washer takes 2-3 hours to do the 30 min cycle and 5-6 hours to do the 60 minute cycle. The washing comes out very hot and a bit smelly! What are my possibles here, anyone? Thanks ****

Also check that the exhaust for the dryer is not blocked with bits of fibre. this would slow down the drying process, and highten smell

You may have the hot and cold hoses connected wrong way round. water flow from hot is often very slow hence the extended times. to check, put on rinse which should let cold water in. see if it is in fact hot water coming in and this confirms hoses wrong way round. just interchange them. smell could be due to using liquid detergent. change to powder type

The wash cycles are taking very long

Sounds like you have a heater problem. Program 5 should take around an hour and 6 should be around 30 min, both with the heater on according to asko's manual. So I would get the heater element checked.

I've just bought the new LG Direct Drive, the problem is when I put it on ECO cycle it takes 3hrs 28 min to complete a cycle. Is this normal, I was under the impression a cycle should be about 30 min

Make sure that the water inlet pressure is good and there is no restriction ,
Now it is normal that the wash cycle is long as the dishes are put into and set to be done overnight.
But it will be good to clarify if the ECO wash takes so long as 31/2 hours, which could be fine with a high level wash.
Call LG Dealer to confirm as the set is new.
