Gorenje Timing Circuit / Oscillator Drift

Timer counts down too fast or too slow compared to real time.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty crystal oscillator on main PCB, Firmware timing bug, Power supply instability, Damaged timing capacitor

Safety first: Unplug before board inspection.

Verify symptom: Compare a 10-minute cycle with an external timer. If the difference is significant, proceed.
Power stability: Inspect the power supply section for bulging capacitors or burnt components. Replace the main control board if low-voltage rails are unstable.
Board-level repair: The timing crystal and associated components are not typically serviced individually in home appliances. Replace the main control PCB to correct timing errors.
