Possible Causes

Heater not working so control extends wash, Slow filling due to low pressure or clogged filters, Slow draining due to partial blockage, Load imbalance causing repeated spin attempts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Check heating:

  • During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 20–30 minutes; if still cold, test the heater and NTC as for D05.

Check fill and drain:

  • Verify strong water flow into the drum and clean inlet filters.
  • Clean the drain filter and ensure the pump empties the tub quickly.

Load issues:

  • Avoid overloading and ensure mixed items for better balance.
