Dishwasher display shows unusually long cycle times or cycles take much longer than indicated.

Safety first: Disconnect power before testing heater or sensors.

• Check inlet water temperature: Run the hot tap at the sink until water is warm before starting the dishwasher to reduce heating time.
• Verify heating: During a hot program, open the door carefully mid‑cycle to check for hot, steamy air. If not present, suspect a heating fault.
• Clean sensors and sump: Clean the sump and filters to ensure accurate turbidity and temperature sensing.
• Heater and NTC test: If cycles remain excessively long and water is not hot, have the heater and NTC sensor tested and replaced if faulty.
