Indesit IWDD-7143-UK user manual

There could be several reasons why your Indesit washing machine takes a long time to complete a cycle. Here are some possible explanations:
1. Load size: If you are washing a large load of laundry, it may take longer for the machine to wash and dry everything thoroughly. Reduce the load size to see if the cycle duration improves.
2. Water temperature: A hot water wash cycle generally takes longer than a cold water wash cycle as it requires additional time to heat the water.
3. Cycle selection: Certain wash programs, such as heavy-duty or energy-saving cycles, are designed to run for a longer duration to achieve desired results. Make sure you are selecting the appropriate cycle for your laundry needs.
4. Water pressure: Insufficient water pressure can lengthen the cycle time as the machine compensates for lower water flow by running longer to ensure proper washing and rinsing.
5. Sensor adjustment: If your machine has sensors to detect load size and adjust cycle duration accordingly, it is possible that these sensors are not functioning optimally. You may need to get them checked and recalibrated by a technician.
6. Detergent residue: If there is excessive detergent residue on your clothes or in the machine, it may necessitate running extra rinse cycles, increasing the overall duration.
If none of these explanations resolve the issue and you still believe your machine takes an exceptionally long time, it may be worth contacting Indesit customer support or a professional technician for further assistance.

The quickest wash cycle on an Indesit washing machine is usually the "Quick Wash" or "Express Wash" cycle, which typically completes a wash cycle in around 30 minutes to 1 hour. However, it can vary depending on the specific model of the Indesit washing machine.

The settings on an Indesit washing dryer machine can vary depending on the specific model and features of the machine. However, some common settings found on Indesit washing dryer machines may include:
1. Cotton: Used for washing and drying cotton garments.
. Synthetics: Designed for washing and drying synthetic fabrics.
3. Delicates: A gentle setting for delicate or sensitive fabrics.
4. Wool: Specifically for washing and drying woolen items.
5. Quick Wash: A faster cycle for lightly soiled clothes.
6. Pre-wash: Option to pre-soak and wash heavily soiled garments.
7. Spin Only: For extracting excess water from clothes without washing them.
8. Rinse and Spin: Used for rinsing and spinning out excess water after a hand wash.
9. Wash and Dry: Combines washing and drying cycles in one program.
10. Eco: A more energy-efficient program that aims to reduce water and energy consumption.
These are just examples of some common settings found on an Indesit washing dryer machine, and it is important to consult the user manual for a specific model to understand the full range of settings and features available.

To use only the dryer function on your Indesit washing machine, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by loading your laundry into the washing drum and selecting the desired washing program. Make sure to choose a program that includes both washing and drying cycles.
. Once the washing is complete, the machine will automatically move to the drying cycle. However, if you want to use the dryer only, you need to cancel the washing portion of the program manually.
3. To cancel the washing cycle, locate and press the "Cancel" or "Reset" button on the control panel. This will stop the machine from proceeding to the final wash spin and initiate only the drying cycle.
4. After canceling the wash cycle, select the appropriate drying program. You can choose between different drying options based on the type of fabric and the desired drying level.
5. Adjust the drying time or temperature if necessary by using the respective buttons on the control panel. Follow the instructions provided in the user manual for specific settings on your Indesit model.
6. Finally, press the "Start" button to begin the drying cycle.
Ensure that you're aware of the maximum load capacity for drying in your particular model and avoid overloading to allow effective and efficient drying. Remember to clean the lint filter regularly to maintain optimal drying performance.
