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.
