Put my washing on at a 60 degree wash for 1 hour 40 mins. Went back to machine several hours later, there was tiny amount of water on floor and machine had water in it but the wash had not progressed any further. The timer was still showing 1 hour 40 mins. No water coming from elsewhere and can only assume there was water on floor as the machine had been sitting like that for hours with water in it. Had to drain the water to empty the machine to open it and it did drain the water for about 10/20 seconds and then the machine started jumping and bouncing about and then just stopped though it did let me open the door. Machine not very old 2/3 years old perhaps 4. No error codes showing on machine.
Re: Put my washing on at a 60 degree wash for 1 hour 40...
Sounds like a blockage perhaps the filter needs cleaning or pump blades jammed...If its a Hotpoint then filter is middle of sump hose connected to the drum....

Do you mean a Hotpoint Aquarius WDL 540 washer? The wash cycle timing is available in the manual on page 8 of the manual (see link below). A normal-sized cottons wash at 40 degrees C takes about 150 minutes (2 1/5 hours) if you have good water pressure and do not use too much detergent. The coloreds cycle is shorter (just under 90 minutes). The indicator lights on the very right hand side (in a downward slash pattern) give the cycle status information. The top light is wash, and the next one down is rinse. The rest are Spin, Dry and End of Cycle. See page 7 of the manual. The function buttons, below the wash temperature and drying time/humidity selection knobs, are from left to right: Super Wash, Extra Rinse, Mini Load, Slow Spin. These are given on page 9. The dryer dial gives you the choice of selecting a dry time from 40-180 minutes or by humidity. The humidity options are Iron (leaves clothes slightly damp), Hanger (ready to put away) and Cupboard (to dry heavy items like towels to a very dry stage). Note the dryer can't manage as large a load as the washer function does. You may need to split the load after doing the wash.
Our clothes rarely get dirty, just need freshening really, and I got sick and tired of waiting almost 2 hours for the programme to stop.
I checked the times of different settings and found that programme J... silks.... only takes around 1 hour, washes at a higher water level and is around 40 degrees.
Now I never use any other programme. Dont over load your machine, dont put too many towels in as this programme is designed for 3kg, so check the weights till you are used to how your drum looks with different types of clothes etc.
We rarely need a heavy wash, and if I do I feel its better to do 2 light washes than do 1 protracted wash in the same water.
Im saving fuel and getting my washing done in half the time too.
Depends on several things. How big the drum is eg 6 kg or 7kg .the spin speed... The material ie. cotton drys faster than woollen items.is it a washer dryer or do you have a separate dryer.normal full load 6kg on a 1200 rpm spin of mixed fibres takes 1 hours 30 mins at 40 c then the dry time can take roughly 1 hour to 90 mins.
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.
2 to 6 hours is possible. The newer machines have a water heat cycle that will raise the water temperature. lets say your incoming water is 90 degrees. The machine want to see 140 -165 depending on the cycle so that cycle will take 75 minutes to reach 165 (1 min per degree temp rise). multiply that by the number of wash and rinse cycles and it can run a very long time. Water should enter the washer at 120 degrees minimum. let it fill and measure the temp you will be surprised. Eric
