The last minute at the washing machine often takes longer than expected. There can be various reasons for this.

Too much detergent can also play a role in the delay. If the water comes out of the inlet with too little pressure, it takes longer to fill. The machine must first heat the water. This not only saves time, but also electricity costs. Low water pressure also ensures long waiting times. There are other measures that can be taken to save electricity and gas. The times on the washing machines are more of a guideline. Many models calculate the time in optimal conditions.
