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.
