Washer displays incorrect time remaining or frequently pauses and extends cycle duration.

Safety first: No internal work is required for basic checks; unplug only if removing panels.

Step-by-step checks:

• Check heating: During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 20–30 minutes; it should be warm. If not, investigate heater and NTC.
• Load size: Avoid overloading; large, dense loads cause longer balancing and rinsing.
• Water pressure: Ensure good flow at the inlet. Clean inlet filters.
• Sensor faults: If cycles are excessively long and clothes are not clean, check for stored error codes and test NTC and pressure switch as needed.
