Possible Causes
Heater not working so machine struggles to reach temperature, Faulty temperature sensor, Load imbalance causing repeated spin attempts, Low water pressure causing long fills
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing internal components.
- Step 1 – Observe behaviour: Note whether the delay occurs during heating, rinsing, or spinning. This helps pinpoint the subsystem at fault.
- Step 2 – Check water supply: Ensure good water pressure and clean inlet filters. Slow filling can extend cycle time.
- Step 3 – Heating check: During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 20–30 minutes. If cold, test the heater and NTC sensor as described in heating-related entries.
- Step 4 – Spin balance: If the drum repeatedly starts and stops before spin, redistribute the load and ensure the machine is level.
