Possible Causes
Load size detection anomalies, Temperature sensor misread, Moisture sensor misread in dry mode, Software logic adjusting for conditions
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No special safety concerns beyond normal operation; unplug before internal inspection.
- Understand adaptive timing: Many Insignia combos adjust time based on load, temperature, and moisture. Some variation is normal.
- Avoid overloading: Do not exceed the recommended load size; overloading can cause the machine to extend or repeat portions of the cycle.
- Check sensors: If timing is erratic and performance is poor, test temperature and moisture sensors and replace if out of specification.
- Firmware update: If available through service, updating the control board firmware may improve time estimation.
