I have a Hotpoint FDW85A which seems to be playing up on the timer

The timer keeps jumping around. When we set it to wash it has 115min then start dropping when it gets to around 109min it jumps back up to 115min. I have changed the programme setting which has worked overnight but I am not sure how long it took Would this be a timer problem or a programmer module problem. Your help would be appreciated.

    This appliance has a Turbidity Sensor which can alter the programme length if it see's the washing or rinsing water is particularly 'contaminated' so this may be 'normal' for your appliance. Plates and cutlery should be rinsed prior to loading to get the best results from any dishwasher. Using a dishwasher cleaner like eSpares limescale and detergent remover will help remove residue and improve its performance.
