Washing machine help

So I'm wondering how long does a 60 degrees, delicate wash normally take?
I know it's supposed to be on a cold setting, but on my washing machine whenever I tried to change the temp, it would always revert to 60.

Mine doesn't go up to 60 on delicates, it only goes up to 40. But on synthetics 60, it takes about 90 minutes.

My washer might be like yours - it has default programs for each cycle but you can change them as you need to.

Thanks for your reply - I was worried it would take too long as I have never used the delicate setting before.

As for your 40 degree, delicate default setting how long does that take?

Thanks

The 40 delicates takes much less. Just under and hour. It only does 2 rinses instead of the 3 but the drum turns slower so it's good for a gentle wash
