ARDO Washer takes too long
If your ARDO washer is taking too long to wash, the problem may be as simple as a closed or partially open water supply valve. Check that both the hot and cold water valves are fully open, since restricted water flow can delay filling and make the washer cycle too long. If the water supply is fine, a faulty heating element is the next likely cause. The element heats the water to the selected temperature, and a defective element can make the washing machine take too long to complete a cycle. Disconnect power and use a multimeter to test the heating element for continuity. If it fails the test, replace it. A water inlet valve is another possible cause of a washer taking too long to wash. Check household water pressure, then inspect and clean the valve’s inlet screens. If the washer still fills slowly, replace the water inlet valve. These steps can help answer, “Why does my washer take so long?” Enter your ARDO washer’s model number to find the exact heating element or water inlet valve replacement part that fits your specific machine.
01 - Water supply valve turned off
Confirm that both the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. If the valves are closed or partially open the washer won't fill or will take longer to start the wash cycle.
Highly Likely
02 - ARDO Washing Machine Heating Element
Many washers use a heating element to raise the temperature of the water entering the tub. A defective element may cause the washer to take too long to clean its load. You can use a multimeter to test the heating element for electrical continuity. If the element tests negative for continuity, you'll know the heating element is faulty and will need to be replaced.

03 - ARDO Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the washing machine. If the water inlet valve is defective, the wash may fill slowly or not fill at all. The water inlet valve requires sufficient water pressure to function properly. First, check the water pressure to determine that it is adequate. If the water pressure is adequate, try cleaning the screens inside the water inlet valve hose connection ports. If the washer still fills slowly, replace the water inlet valve.
