Possible Causes

Unbalanced load causing extended spin attempts, Incorrect water level sensing, Heating issues altering cycle time, Software load-sensing behavior

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before internal checks.

  • 1. Use appropriate load size: Avoid very small or very large loads that can confuse load sensing.
  • 2. Check drain and spin performance: Ensure the machine drains and spins properly; clean pump filter and check hoses.
  • 3. Verify heating: If water is not heating correctly, cycles may extend. Test heater and NTC as described earlier.
  • 4. Accept adaptive timing: Some variation in displayed time is normal as the Amica control adjusts for load and water temperature.
