Janie Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I don't know if we're having trouble with ours or not, but dh said the other night after I turned it on that it seemed to run (he could hear water filling and the rubble of it washing/rinsing) for over an hour. I had gone to bed and wasn't around. We don't use the dishwasher very much, and it is a new one (probably only used a dozen times). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 That doesn't sound off to me. I think mine takes about an hour, but I don't pay close attention, so I might not be the best one to answer ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineIN Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 My dishwasher is older and it does take about an hour total between start to finish. It's always been consistent with the time though. When my SIL's dishwasher was going bad, it started to slowly take longer....and longer....and longer to wash the dishes. Kristine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ours is just under a year old, and the super deluxe cycle takes nearly 90 minutes. The quick wash is 42 minutes and the regular is somewhere in between. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I never took that long to wash the dishes by hand! (But I'm not going to complain too much - the dishwasher's job is safe.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. at J.A. Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ours is fairly new too (couple of years old) and it seems to take a long time too. I think sometimes (especially at night), it takes a while for it to build up the hot water it needs. I think that is why it seems to take longer, but it isn't running constantly during that time.

Julie in CA Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Mine takes about as long as Andie's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Readsalot Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Although I use the water miser cycle so it is probably a bit short than a regular cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth in IL Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Our washer take around 40 minutes to an hour. I think that it depends on if I start it at a heavy load or a light load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 It seems to lessen the cycle time. Does yours have a "sensor" that tells when the dishes are clean? Seems to me these take forever. Some cycles take longer, too--our "pots and pans" cycle is the longest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2GirlsTX Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 depending on cycle type, it runs from about 40 minutes to 75 minutes... seems really long doesn't it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
