Default Frigidaire Front Loader Wash Time

Hello:

I have a Frigidaire Front Loader Model FTF630AS0 and am wondering if anyone knows the length of time for a load of wash to be done starting from Normal load to final spin.

My wife insists that it is taking longer to run a load than when we first bought it. It now takes about 75 minutes, but I can't find out from the manual how long it should take. The manual only mentions the length of time for each increment (Heavy, Normal, Perm Press, Light) and not the entire load time.

Any help would be appreicated.

Thank you.

Hi,

Here's your wiring diagram for your model that tells the time increments for each part of the cycles:

Thanks for the quick reply Jake.

I'm not sure I am reading this thing correctly. What I am doing is adding up the step time amounts from the start of normal to the end of final spin in the set of columns under Regular.

They add up to just over 33 minutes. The machine has never done a load of wash in that little time, even when new. My old top loader used to take over 45 minutes, and I know that front loaders take even longer.

Am I missing something here?

Thats all I'm able to go by too, so I'm not sure what the answer is.

I know my GE Front-Loader takes 121 minutes on my normal cycle. Most are about the same 80-134 minutes.

So at 75 minutes you got it made.
