Side note and nothing to do with that. But does anyone knows why some washing machines timer are way way out ? meaning 1 minute washing machine is equivalent to 1:30mn real time ?

Okay nevermind: I should have google in english first :p

`Washing machine timers are sometimes in conflict with high-efficiency features like load sensing, which attempts to gauge the size of the load and only use as much water as needed to finish the cycle. That measurement may ultimately affect how much time the cycle needs, making the timer overly optimistic. ` https://reviewed.usatoday.com/laundry/features/why-the-timer... https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/646586/why-washing-machi....



Yeah the same is even more true of modern dryers, which have moisture sensors.
