A:AnswerAn hour, give or take. It just depends what setting you have it on. "Normal" wash loads are usually about 50 min, "heavily soiled" are just about 65 min.
A:AnswerIf the load is not balanced, the washer will vibrate and make noise. If you can pause the cycle and rearrange/rebalance the items in the tub, it might solve the problem.
A:AnswerYes it does have a tub clean cycle. In the manual under TUB CLEAN, it tells you how to activate this feature since there isn't a button on the front panel labeled this.
A:AnswerAre you using regular detergent instead of the HE pods or detergent? Regular will cause it to run a lot longer because it creates too many suds.
A:AnswerNope. While I personally recommend and use the stainless style hoses for simple longevity, the cheaper standard rubber hoses will work just as well.
A:AnswerBecause you washer isn't directly connected to your water heater so the first bit of water to come out is what is in the pipes between the washer and water heater
