[wkwk]

I have a GE front load washer, model WBVH5200J1WW.

I have never had a problem with it washing clothes, but it always takes significantly longer than the timer says to wash. For example regular wash says 59 minutes but takes an hour and a half, speed wash says 38 minutes but takes over an hour.

I don't need to wash clothes faster, but want to make sure I am not wasting a lot of energy with an easily corrected problem.

Does the washer have sensors or something that tells it when to move to the next phase of washing?

Thanks for any help!
