Hi, I have an AEG 52600 and its taking close to an hour to complete a wash cycle. Is this normal? How long does a regualar wash cycle take?

Hi.
Replace the watervalve.
Its stuck open

Good... You are lucky.

RECENTLY REPLACE IT AGAIN...

It should still be covered by a sales contract... and those control boards are not cheap.

(there ARE real silent dishwashers... I promise).

Expecting one to work is not unreasonable...
Keep looking.

Can you hear the motor start? If so the belt is broke. If not it could be several things.

That is not normal. Have the control circuit board tested for continuity. Either the cycle or timer section is out of wack and may need replacing.

Hi

the door lock is you problem. just replace and should be back to normal.

regards

Make sure the sani cycle is not selected, or pots and pans, also with the dry cycle most will take about 2 hours, if your dishes are not that dirty use the short cycle. Be sure your water is at least 130 F. Run hot water at faucet before starting the machine.

if machine doesn't drain, then it won't spin!
check the filter and check no foreign object stuck in pump impellor

These machines do not release the door immediately after wash cycle is complete. After final spin cycle wait until you hear a click sound.The door will then be able to be opened. This takes uproximately three minutes.
