Grundig Cycle Time Extension / Heating or Sensing Issue

Washer-dryer takes excessively long to complete cycles; time remaining jumps or extends.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Insufficient water heating, Low water pressure, Unbalanced load causing repeated distribution, Faulty temperature or moisture sensors

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal checks.

Check water temperature and pressure: Ensure hot and cold supplies (if used) are correctly connected and pressure is adequate.
Verify heating: During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 20–30 minutes; it should be warm. If not, test the heater and NTC as described in heating fault procedures.
Load correctly: Avoid overloading and ensure mixed loads are balanced to reduce repeated spin attempts.
Clean sensors: Clean moisture sensor bars and check NTC sensors for correct operation.
