Washer takes much longer than expected to complete cycles, timer seems stuck or counts up and down.

Safety first: No internal service is required initially.

Step-by-step:

• Balance loads: Avoid single heavy items and overloading. Distribute clothes evenly.
• Control suds: Use less HE detergent to prevent oversuds, which can extend rinse and drain times.
• Check water supply: Ensure both hot and cold valves are fully open and pressure is adequate.
• Clean washer: Run a Clean Washer cycle to remove buildup that can affect sensors.
• Monitor behavior: If cycles remain excessively long despite proper use, the control board or sensors may need professional diagnosis.
