Washer takes too long to complete cycles

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.
