Zanussi Extended Cycle Time / Program Overrun

The washer takes much longer than the displayed time to complete a cycle.

Possible Causes

Unbalanced load causing repeated spin attempts, slow heating due to a scaled heater, slow fill or drain, sensor misreadings.

Safety: Unplug before internal checks.

Check fill and drain: Ensure inlet filters and the pump filter are clean for proper flow.
Descale heater: Run a hot maintenance wash with descaler to improve heating efficiency.
Load correctly: Avoid overloading and distribute laundry evenly.
