Electrolux Extended Cycle Duration

Cycle times are much longer than normal or seem to never finish.

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

Low incoming water temperature, Sensor-based soil detection extending wash, Heater not working properly, Control software adapting to heavy soil

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before checking heater components.

Check water temperature: Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher so it fills with hot water.
Clean sensors and filters: Clean filters and, if accessible, the turbidity/soil sensor window to ensure accurate readings.
Verify heating: Open the door mid-cycle (carefully) to check if water is hot. If not, test the heater and NTC sensor.
Use appropriate cycle: Heavy or auto cycles can run longer by design; try a normal or eco cycle to compare.
