(continued)
Possible cause
 The remaining time indicator automatically
adjusts and may change during operations.
Did you add excessive amounts of detergent?
 When excessive foaming occurs, operations
may be prolonged for up to 15 minutes, as
an operation to reduce foaming is performed
automatically.
Is the [HOT WASH] function set?
 When [HOT WASH] is in operation, the
operation time may increase automatically.
 Depending on the volume and type of laundry
and the amount of water supplied, the actual
operation finish time may be later than the set
DELAY START time.
Is the drying load large?
Is the dry filter clogged?
 A clogged dry filter may prolong drying times
or cause operations to finish while the laundry
is only half dry.
Is the tap open?
 Tap water is used, even during dry-only
operations. Lack of a water supply may
prolong drying times or cause operations to
finish while the laundry is only half dry.
Is the water supply inlet's filter clogged?
 If the filter is clogged, the water supply will not
be smooth.
Is the drain hose installed properly?
 If proper drainage is not possible, proper
drying operation will not be possible.
Is the water supply temperature 30°C or higher?
Is the water being supplied from a water
heater?
 If the water supply temperature is 30°C or
higher, the dehumidification process is less
effective and drying times will be longer.
Is the ambient temperature of the installation
location 5°C or lower or 30°C or higher?
 If the temperature is too low or too high, drying
times will be longer.
Has the laundry been spun?
 Drying insufficiently spun laundry may prolong
drying times or cause operations to finish while
the laundry is only half dry.
