Possible Causes

Heater not working efficiently, Low water pressure, Unbalanced loads causing repeated spin attempts, Excessive foam detected

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal checks.

  • Check heating: After 20–30 minutes of a hot wash, the door glass should feel warm. If not, investigate heater and NTC faults.
  • Use correct detergent: Use HE detergent and correct dosage to avoid over-foaming, which can cause extra rinses.
  • Balance loads: Avoid single heavy items that cause repeated balancing attempts.

If cycles remain excessively long, have the heating and sensor systems checked.
