Washer takes much longer than expected to complete a cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before internal checks; external checks can be done with power on but with caution.

• Check load and balance: Ensure the load is not too small or too heavy on one side. Redistribute items.
• Water supply: Confirm adequate water pressure and clean inlet filters.
• Detergent use: Reduce detergent to prevent oversudsing, which can cause the washer to add extra rinses.
• Heater performance: If cycles with hot water are especially long, the heater may be weak or the NTC sensor inaccurate; test and replace as needed.
