I can't say i've noticed a pattern and the load sizes are all within the maximum, i'm always careful not to overload it. I did wonder if it was just a glitch. |

Washers with microprozessors are like PC's with Windows: Today as common as a flu, and sometimes they develop there own thoughts and do what they want... |

...A three hour wash...
Sounds wonky. At 68yo I have avoided computer washers. The industrials (Wasco/Unimac) I watched in a hotel (2009) didn't have any of this wonky "detect" nonsense. They did what they were told. I firmly believe ALL appliances should do what they are told rather than what they "think". |

Until recently, our consumer magazine downgraded LG washers because they showed electronic glitches during the 1.800+ cycles durability test. Recent models are fine, though.,
My washer has a thing for secretly doing wrinkle-release tumbles when washing a very light load on Daily Wash. It will tumble for ten minutes and then go into the final spin. That is not supposed to happen, unless I activate the Wrinkle Release function. It's either a glitch or has to do with the Sixth Sense technology and the washer thinks it's washing synthetics that could wrinkle easily thus activating wrinnkle release. Who knows... |

Hi there
Pedro you have the same machine as me, mine's a bit older as it doesn't have 'Smart Diagnosis' but it's the same model F1479FDS5. I usually fill it loosely so it always detects the load and takes between 1 hour 15 mins and 1 hour 40 mins. Although I have filled it completely to the brim a few times and the load detected took around 2 hours and 40 mins ish. When it detects the maximum weight the machine does 3 final spins. It does one whole spin sequence (max speed), re-distributes, another spin sequence (max speed), re-distributes, another spin sequence (max speed) and then the anti tangle tumbles. The same thing happens on my aunts LG which is the same as ours but in black. Nothing to worry about tbh. The loads did dry quicker in the dryer! We love the LG, can't fault it. Hope this helps. Happy Washing :) |

They claim 44% residual moisture at 1400rpm. Maybe thats the way they reach it. But at such big drums, 20min and more are normal... |

Hmmm... I've never experienced anything as such.
Did you press the 'rinse' button by any chance as when you're going through the selection after all the different options there is an option where it does no rinses. I use cottons 60 every day if not every other and it's always done 2 or 3 rinses by default. Give it another cycle, if it's playing up then you ought to get it looked at. All the best |

I think this might be a sign that you might need to consider replacing your washer because me i have a 2004 duet with a control board starting to fail when i wash bedding but me i am not giving myself the trouble of having that repaired me i will be replacing it it as for me in my case thats not worth paying for a repair but this is just the way i am because the trouble with my 2004 duet is when i have a bedsheet washing when the washer is in the 12 10 minute mark it should be in the final spin here are 2 pictures of my duet washer control panel turn on with the normal wash time and the shortest that is still to long for me as i would much rather set my washer to 10 minute wash temp dial cold water witch is fill wash drain spin fill rinse drain final spin off and not have to wait 40 minute
