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

Safety first: Unplug the washer before internal checks.

Step-by-step checks:

• Observe behavior: If the machine repeatedly tries to spin and stops, improve load distribution and reduce load size.
• Check heater performance: If water takes a long time to heat, descale the heater by running a hot maintenance wash with descaler.
• Verify water and drain: Ensure good inlet pressure and free drainage as described in earlier faults.
