Washer displays incorrect time remaining or cycles take much longer than indicated, without an error code.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before checking internal heating components.

• Step 1 – Observe pattern:
  • Note if time extension occurs mainly on hot washes or large loads.
• Step 2 – Check heating:
  • If clothes feel cold after a hot wash, test the heater and NTC as described in the heating fault scenario.
• Step 3 – Improve loading:
  • Avoid overloading the drum; leave a hand's width of space at the top.
  • Balance heavy items with additional laundry.
• Step 4 – Reduce suds:
  • Use the correct amount and type of detergent.
  • Run a rinse-only cycle if excessive foam is observed.
• Some variation in cycle time is normal as the Arctic control adjusts for conditions; only investigate further if delays are extreme or new.
