Washer-dryer takes excessively long to complete cycles; time remaining increases or stalls.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal checks.

• Step 1 – Observe behaviour: Note whether delays occur during heating, rinsing, or spinning.
• Step 2 – Check water temperature: During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 20–30 minutes. If cold, investigate the heater as in E05.
• Step 3 – Load and balance: Avoid overloading and ensure mixed loads to reduce unbalance corrections.
• Step 4 – Clean condenser: If delays occur in drying, clean the condenser and ducts as described in poor drying performance.
• Step 5 – Sensor issues: Persistent timing anomalies may indicate sensor or PCB faults requiring professional diagnosis.
