Possible Causes
Heater not reaching temperature, Low water pressure, Excessive foam causing extra rinses, Unbalanced loads causing repeated spin attempts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before internal checks.
- Observe behavior: Note whether the machine is repeatedly filling, draining, or attempting to spin. This indicates where the delay occurs.
- Check water temperature: If the door glass remains cold on hot programs, investigate the wash heater and NTC sensor.
- Verify water pressure: Ensure inlet taps are fully open and filters are clean.
- Reduce detergent: Use less detergent to avoid excessive foam, which can trigger extra rinses.
Warning: If heating is not working, energy use increases and cleaning performance drops. Address heater faults promptly.
