Washer takes much longer than normal to complete cycles, often pausing for extended periods.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing internal components.

• Check water pressure: Ensure taps are fully open and inlet filters are clean to allow fast filling.
• Verify heating: During a hot wash, feel the door glass after 15–20 minutes; it should be warm. If not, test the heater and NTC sensor as described in E05.
• Load size and type: Avoid overloading the drum and mixing very heavy with very light items, which can cause repeated spin balancing attempts.
• Run maintenance cycle: Perform an empty hot wash with a washing machine cleaner to remove scale and residue that may affect sensors.
