Hi, Using programme 4 - the cycle seems much faster than it used to. The initial wash is over very quickly and then it moves on to a rinse. Whole cycle is complete in about 30 mins! Might this be early signs of the programme switch failing?

I suggest you read the operating instructions of your machine. I don't know of such a programme - most programmes include a rinse and spin though there is usually a delicates programme that is a short low temperature wash, leaves the tub full of water (to decrease creasing) until the programmer is advanced and then a short rinse and low speed spin.
Not sure what is special about a special sweater detergent except maybe it is so mild it might behave like soap and contains a fabric conditioner - hence no rinsing. Seems it could be a gimmick...
Best way of washing treasured woollens remains hand washing using soap if possible and rinse with fabric conditioner. Pull into shape while wet and dry flat.
It is doubtful cleaning the filter and using Dettol will have caused any problems.
I believe it was quite common to have a programme where the washer stopped mid-rinse before pumping out the water in order to reduce creasing of the clothes. The programmer would be advanced when it was convenient to do so and the rinse cycle would continue and finish with the final spin.
I suggest you read the instruction manual before deciding whether there is a fault or not...
hi
the water level switch or sensor does not activate to tell the programmer that there is plenty water so that it can start to rinse ( what you doing is simply overriding the system .
button selection : To select an option press the button and you will see a light come on above the button. Press again to cancel and the light will go out. You cannot alter the options once the machine is running. Note : remember to cancel buttons after use!
As you look at the machine
Left hand button... Rinse Hold.. use this option to Help reduce creasing of delicate or synthetic fabrics by holding clothes in the final rinse water. The rinse hold light will flash to indicate that the programme is holding final rinse water. Complete the final spin by pressing the Rinse Hold button when light is flashing.
This is not available with Wool or Spin only programmes.
Middle Button.... Energy Save... use this option to save money and time on lightly soiled loads. This is not available with the Quick Wash, Rinse and Spin, or Spin Only programmes.
Right Hand Button .... Super Rinse... use this option for Large Wash loads and items for young children or people with sensitive skin. This option increases the water level for the first two rinses. This is not available with Cold Wash, Rinse and Spin or Spin Only programmes.
