Washer takes much longer than expected to complete a cycle

Safety first: Ensure the washer is on a dedicated circuit to avoid power drops.

• Check water pressure: Confirm strong flow at the taps feeding the washer. Clean inlet filters if partially blocked.
• Monitor heating: On hot cycles, feel the door after 20 minutes. If cold, see heating fault guidance.
• Use correct detergent: Reduce detergent quantity to prevent extra rinse cycles due to foam.
• Balance loads: Avoid single heavy items that cause repeated spin balancing attempts.

Some variation in cycle time is normal, but extreme extensions may indicate heater or sensor issues.
