Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use caution when measuring temperatures and pressures; hot water and high pressure may be present.
Normalizing cycle time:
- Check supply temperature: Ensure incoming hot water meets Champion’s minimum temperature specification.
- Verify water pressure: Confirm supply pressure is within the recommended range.
- Descale heaters and tank: Perform a descaling procedure to remove mineral buildup from heaters and internal surfaces.
- Check temperature sensors: Verify that wash and rinse temperature probes are reading accurately and not causing unnecessary heat-up delays.
When to call a technician: If cycle times remain extended, a technician should evaluate heater performance and control logic.
