Possible Causes
Slow fill due to restricted inlet screens, Slow drain due to partial blockage, Excessive load causing repeated balancing attempts, Heater not working on hot cycles
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water before hose work.
- Check water flow: Clean inlet filters and ensure taps are fully open with adequate pressure.
- Inspect drain system: Clear pump filter, sump, and drain hose of debris.
- Avoid overloading: Reduce load size to allow proper wash and spin without repeated rebalancing.
- Check heating: If hot cycles run very long, test the heater element and NTC sensor as they may be failing to reach target temperature.
