Actually this can be a feature. Often enough I fill the machine in the morning, set it up to start in 3 or 4 or even 6 hours, go to work and when I come home the machine has just finished and I'm ready to put the clothes up for drying.
It's more a question of planning than anything else.
- AnssiH 7y agoQuite off-topic now, but my new LG machine has a programmable end time instead of start time, making this kind of scheduling easier :) That's a kind of feature that I didn't know I wanted before I had it.
- martin_a 7y agoAh, interesting idea, saves you the calculations in the morning. ;-) My baking oven has something like this, too. I still wonder how that is supposed to work, though: I have to dial in temperature etc. before, then set it to finish at a specific time. Seems impractical for rolls oder pizza, but maybe I'm missing something on that feature.
- distances 7y agoI don't know where you live, but beware: if the washing machine broke in this situation and flooded the apartment, you may be found negligent and denied insurance coverage. I don't know how common this is, but I've been taught to use dishwasher and washing machine only when I'm home myself.
