Why do washing machines stop mid cycle?

215 views

My machine isn’t broken and every machine I’ve ever had does this but I was just curious as to why. I’ve googled it and nothing but broken machine fixes comes up. I know it isn’t to drain either as I’ve watched my machine do it and it’s pretty obvious when it’s draining.

To all those previous answers, my machine weights the laundry 2 times. First time it checks at the start, then after a while of the cycle it weights it again and then decides to shorten the cycle. (I live alone and don’t (well, cannot 😀 ) use the full capacity)

e.g. at the start it says 3 hours. After an hour it goes into a break, checks it again, then rotates a little, checks again, rotates a little, checks again, then thinks about it and changes 2 hours into 1 hour 15 minutes.
