Washer-dryer takes excessively long to complete cycles, often pausing with drum turning slowly.

Safety: Disconnect power before internal checks.

• Observe cycle: Note whether delays occur during heating or draining phases.
• Descale heater: Run a maintenance wash with a descaling agent or remove and descale the AEG heater if heavily scaled.
• Clean pump filter and hose: Ensure water drains quickly by cleaning the filter and checking the drain hose.
• Load correctly: Avoid overloading and ensure mixed items to reduce unbalance corrections.
