Hoover washing machines are fitted with a special sensor that balances the load before it spins. This is to help protect the machine components and also to stop the machine vibrating and moving when spinning. If there is only a few things in the drum it may take longer to untangle and balance the load around the drum. This will increase the time the cycle will take.If there is only one item inside the machine, lots of time will be spent trying to balance the load and it may be unable to do so. Its far more economical to was a bigger load and the machine is not designed to spin just one item of clothing, if the cycle is taking longer than expected when it is spinning then use fuller loads.

When you first select a programme, the time shown on the display for your cycle is the length of time needed to wash a full or maximum load size. Your machine uses just enough water to wash the size of the load it finds inside the drum and once the programme starts it will re calculate the estimated cycle duration. We call this process the ‘KG’ mode and it usually takes around 10 minutes to calculate the current load size. Once the calculations are complete the display will then show the estimated cycle duration for the load presently inside the drum.

At the end of the cycle should the load become unbalanced or there is just a few items in the drum the cycle time may be extended in order to even up the load before spinning. This is normal and designed to protect your machine from damage caused by excessive vibration.

When you first select a programme the time shown in the display is for a full load wash. Your machine uses just enough water to wash the size of the load and once the programme starts is will re calculate the estimated cycle duration. We call this process the ‘KG’ mode and it usually takes around 10 minutes and once complete your display will show the estimated cycle duration for the load presently inside the drum. Some of the programme options, can when selected, make the cycle last for a longer time. If you select the ‘sensitive care’ option or increase the soil setting then the programme will last for longer as more time is needed to give the benefit of the option chosen.

Therefore the bigger the load the longer it will take. Your machine however is energy efficient so even though the cycle may last a little longer it is still economical.
