Fellow lemmings, I must know if your machines also display egregious “remaining time” values? Like, mine will say 2 minutes, then later go “ahhh it will be at least 13 more bro” as if gaslighting us. Is this a general issue with the apparently complex science of cleaning textiles?

I have the same. I assume it’s that there’s a moisture level detector that samples, gives it some minutes, and samples again. So if the moisture level is 50, and the usual time needed for that is 100 minutes, 2 minutes per moisture unit. The timer says 100. But the condenser is dirty, so after 50 minutes, it samples again, and says moisture is only down to 40. It should be 25. So the stupid dryer says “Well, looks like a tough case. Still needs 80 minutes!”
