Those aren't minutes, they're drying time units, which last as long as the dryer decides it wants them to last on any particular day.

Now I'm confused, how many drying time units are in a galactic standard week?

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

I can understand the confusion, drying time units is actually a measure of distance not speed.

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 16 points 10 months ago

Depends how wet the week is.

A washer or dryer is never late. Nor it it early. It finishes precisely when it means to.

Who the fuck programs these things? Why even have this measurement if the units are not a fixed length? Just put a light on it that says “done” or “not done”

These dryers also have a timed function that will allow to to over dry your clothes as much as you’d like. The auto modes use sensors that can detect clothes that still haven’t dried completely as they tumble about. Pretty hard to make precise unless you’re attaching sensors to every article in the dryer.
