Prima LPR600 Dishwasher Program Times

[hooner]

1st post!!!!

Does anyone know the normal times for each of the 4 programs on this dishwasher? There is a rinse cycle, 40 degree, 50 degree & 70 degree washes.

I think it may me knackered as the wash cycles seem to be never-ending. Then again, I've not had a dishwasher before and it may be normal.

Many thanks in advance.

Does it heat? A machine that washes into infinity usually means a no-heat issue. You should be seeing an F3 error around 25 mins into a wash program (a repeating series of 3 flashes on the start button led).

Yes, it heats fine.

The rinse cycle is about 10 mins & the 40 degree cycle takes about 35mins. But the 50 degree cycle seemed to take about 2 hours but didn't beep at the end - it just stopped. Just wondered if this was correct (ignoring the lack of a beep) and how long the 70 degree wash as I don't want to leave it washing indefinately. 2 hours seems to be a bit much for a wash to me.

I've had this dishwasher about 3 years but haven't used it as the first time I did, it didn't wash properly and being old school, just rolled up my sleeves and did it the old fashioned way!

Thanks again.

Have a little faith in technology...but remember it is important to rinse off the crockery before stacking it in the machine. If your dishwasher malfunctions you will get an error code. So if it heats up & your wash result is satisfactory you can safely put your gloves & sunlight away.
