Start by cleaning the drain pump filter to remove debris that might be obstructing water flow. Check the drain hose for kinks or clogs and ensure it’s properly installed at the correct height. If the problem persists, the drain pump may require replacement.

Inspect the heating element for visible damage or wear, and test it for continuity. Blocked airflow can also reduce heating efficiency; clean the lint filter and vent hose thoroughly to restore proper ventilation. Additionally, test the thermal fuse and cycling thermostat for faults and replace them if needed.

An unbalanced load can prevent the drum from spinning correctly. Redistribute clothes evenly in the drum to balance the load. If the issue continues, inspect the drive belt for wear or slippage and replace it if necessary. The lid switch should also be checked, as a faulty switch can stop the spin cycle.

Ensure the vent hose is clear of blockages, as restricted airflow is a primary cause of extended drying times. Inspect the blower wheel for damage or obstructions and verify that the cycling thermostat is functioning correctly. Regularly clean the lint trap and consider replacing worn or damaged components.

Excessive shaking or vibrations can result from overloading or an uneven surface. Check that the appliance is level using a spirit level, and adjust the feet as needed. Inspect the shock absorbers and suspension springs for wear and replace them if required.

Confirm that the unit is securely connected to a working power supply and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the washer or dryer door is fully closed, as most units won’t start if the door latch isn’t engaged. Test the start switch and control board for malfunctions, replacing faulty parts as necessary.
