Cycle Time Longer Than Expected – Washer takes too long to complete a cycle

What does CYCLE TIME LONGER THAN EXPECTED mean?

The Washing Machine takes an unusually long time to complete a cycle. This can be due to various factors affecting the machine's operational efficiency.

• Oversuds from excessive or wrong detergent.
• Off-balance load.
• Weak suspension.
• Slow draining due to pump or drain hose obstructions.
• Water pressure drop, leading to longer fill times.
• Friction or drag on the drive system (motor, bearings).
• Shifter not moving into position.
