Stoves Extended Cycle Time / Heating or Drain Inefficiency

Washer-dryer combo takes excessively long to complete cycles, with no error code.

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

Low water temperature due to weak heater, Slow drainage from partial blockage, Load sensing adjusting time, Thermostat or NTC sensor drift

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal checks.

Step-by-step checks:

Clean pump filter and hoses: Ensure drainage is fast and unobstructed.
Check heating: During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 20–30 minutes; it should be warm. If always cold, investigate the heater and NTC sensor.
Avoid overloading: Overloading can cause the machine to extend wash and spin times to balance the load.

If cycles remain abnormally long, a faulty sensor or control board may be responsible and should be diagnosed professionally.
