The wasing cycle on my Bosch 1200 clasic xx takes a lot longer. It doesn't change from one cycle to another straight away, eg from wash to rinse to spin.
I have cleared the pipes as much as I can.

1.The load in the machine may be too small, in which case the machine will not operate onto it's next programme.
2. The load in the machine may be unbalanced, again, this will stop the machine continuing.
Larger wash loads is the answer that my wife found out to avoid the pause in cycle. The unbalanced load problem, she just opend the door of the machine manhandled the clothes into a bundle in the bottom of the drum and then it continued.
