Possible Causes

Low water pressure causing slow fill, Heater not working so machine extends wash, Unbalanced load causing repeated spin attempts, Clogged drain slowing water removal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before cleaning filters or hoses.

  • Check water pressure: Ensure the inlet tap is fully open and inlet filters are clean.
  • Verify heating: During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 15–20 minutes; it should be warm. If not, check heater and NTC as described in heating faults.
  • Clean drain system: Remove and clean the drain filter and hose to ensure fast draining.
  • Balance loads: Avoid single heavy items that cause repeated spin balancing attempts.

If cycles remain excessively long, a sensor or PCB issue may be present and should be checked by a technician.
