A:Answer The time for washing is based entirely on the cycle chosen and, more importantly, the volume of objects placed inside. For example, I wash a very light load of gym clothes and towel daily when I come home from my local PF. When I start the normal cycle, the washer indicates that it will run 59 minutes, but once it weighs the content and begins the cycle, the time changes to only 29 minutes, a very reasonable time for the small load.
