Why does my Samsung washing machine take so long to complete a cycle

Is your Washing Machine taking longer than usual to wash clothes? Look out for the red flags mentioned in the video and do at-home to fix the issue.

Q: What are the factors that can increase wash cycle time?

A: Some of the reasons for increased cycle time can be:

1. Uneven clothes distribution inside the drum
2. Low water pressure slows down the washing process
3. Wet clothes such as pre-soaked or damp clothes
4. Some wash cycles like Bedding Cycle generally take longer 
5. Excess detergent can lead to increased rinse cycles

Q: Is it normal for washing machines to take longer to finish than usual cycle time?

A: Yes. It’s normal for washing machines to take longer than usual to finish a cycle. It could be happening because of increased laundry load. The machine senses the weight of the load and automatically adjusts water level and run time to optimise the wash.

Quick troubleshooting tips:

• Make sure water pressure is adequate
• Distribute clothes evenly and avoid overloading
• Use the correct detergent quantity for your load
• Choose the cycle that matches your laundry type
