Possible Causes

Water not heating properly, Inaccurate temperature sensor, Load imbalance causing repeated spin attempts, Clogged dryer condenser reducing drying efficiency

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before internal checks.

  • Observe heating: During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 20–30 minutes. If still cold, test the wash heater and NTC sensor.
  • Balance loads: Avoid overloading and ensure mixed items to help balance. Unbalanced loads can cause repeated spin attempts and longer cycles.
  • Clean condenser and ducts: For long drying times, clean the condenser and dryer air paths thoroughly.
  • Sensor checks: Test NTC sensors for correct resistance. Replace if out of specification.
