I suspect it’s because they had moisture sensors so it would extend the dry time if it was still wet inside beyond a preset minimum of moisture. Most laundrymats this hasn’t been an issue. The ones in my apartment are, tho. The washer runs exactly for 25 minutes. The dryer says it will run 45 minutes, but when I come back an hour later it’s still going and now the timer says it has 20 minutes left.
This is exactly my experience. I was super confused by the timer on the dryer. Then I called support and they said it was normal for where I live and where the machine sits in the house. Air too humid and spot less than ideal for moisture to be taken away from the machine in a timely fashion.
