Possible Causes

Heater not reaching target temperature, Repeated unbalance corrections before spin, Low water pressure extending fill time, Excessive suds causing extra rinses

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before checking heater or internal components.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Check water temperature: During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 20–30 minutes. If it remains cold, test the heater and NTC as per E05/E14.
  • Verify water pressure: Ensure inlet taps are fully open and filters are clean.
  • Reduce detergent: Overdosing can cause extra rinse cycles. Use the amount recommended for your water hardness and load size.
  • Balance loads: Large single items can cause repeated balancing attempts. Mix items of different sizes.
