Washer takes much longer than the displayed time to finish a cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before internal checks.

• Check water supply temperature and pressure: Very cold or low-pressure water will extend heating and fill times. Ensure faucets are fully open.
• Clean drain system: A partially blocked pump filter or hose can slow drainage and extend rinse/spin phases. Clean as per the drain maintenance steps.
• Avoid overloading: Large, dense loads cause repeated balancing attempts. Reduce load size and mix heavy and light items.
• Descale heater: If heating is slow, run a descaling cycle or have the heater inspected and replaced if heavily scaled.
