Possible Causes

Heater not reaching temperature, Poor draining causing extended rinse, Faulty water level sensor, Excessive load or imbalance causing repeated spin attempts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal checks.

  • Observe where it stalls: Note whether the delay occurs during heating, rinsing, or spinning. This helps pinpoint the subsystem at fault.
  • Check heating: If delays occur during wash, verify that the water heats up (door glass should become warm). If not, inspect the heating element and NTC sensor.
  • Check drainage: If delays occur between rinses, clean the drain filter and check the pump and hoses.
  • Verify load size and balance: Avoid overloading and ensure laundry is evenly distributed to prevent repeated spin balancing attempts.
  • Inspect pressure switch: If water levels seem incorrect, test and, if necessary, replace the pressure switch.
