Possible Causes

Low water pressure causing slow fills, Heater not working so wash extends, Dryer sensor misreading moisture, Clogged lint filter or condenser

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before internal inspection.

  • Check water supply: Confirm strong water flow at the inlet hoses and clean screens (E1).
  • Verify heating: Ensure water heats during hot cycles (E5) and dryer heats properly (E6). Repair heater issues as needed.
  • Clean lint and condenser: Follow E12 steps to clean lint filters, ducts, and condenser (if present).
  • Sensor cleaning: Clean moisture sensor bars inside the drum to ensure accurate drying time estimation.
