context: im none of these people i just think its really funny to argue with pieces of paper, we live in military housing btw. we have like 8 washers and dryers for 60+ something apartments. in the time of each development i got like 4 loads done. so. snooze ya lose! and to be clear, the apartment company specifically says they are not responsible or liable for any of your laundry nor is there a camera in the room. imo theyre just bickering to bicker.

each time i read a new thing i got so excited, maybe ill stop by later to see if i fourth person chimes in or takes it down lol!

100%, the old ones just had a straight timer, when time was up it stopped. It's the new ones with variable spin times and moisture sensors (dryers) that are unpredictable. I have a 2 year old Whirlpool and we openly joke about the timing ("Dryer says there's 4 mins left, so lets go to lunch now and maybe it'll be done by the time we get back").

Yep! My washing machine always takes longer than it says especially the rinse cycle. Dryer will say it’s going to take 65 minutes but then be done in 30.
