Washer-dryer takes much longer than the displayed time to complete cycles.

Safety first: Normal operation can extend cycle time, but excessive extension may indicate a fault.

• Step 1 – Avoid overloading: Load the drum loosely and evenly to reduce unbalance corrections.
• Step 2 – Descale heater: Run a hot maintenance wash with descaler to improve heating efficiency.
• Step 3 – Check inlet flow: Clean inlet filters and ensure good water pressure.
• Step 4 – Observe behavior: If the machine repeatedly tries to spin and stops, inspect suspension and load balance as described in vibration-related entries.
