why does the cycle time change on my AEG ProSense washing machine?
an AEG washer with ProSense and the described kg display can revise its initial time estimate as it weighs the load. brief drum movement and a flashing kg indication can be part of sensing rather than a timer fault.
model scope: AEG washing machines equipped with ProSense load sensing and the described kg display.
allow the initial sensing stage to finish and check that the wash continues normally. the first displayed time is not a fixed countdown, but that does not explain every long or stalled cycle.
the linked guide helps distinguish a revised estimate from lost progress. record the programme, complete model and any warning, retained water or repeated stopping. do not dismiss leakage, burning smells or a locked water-filled drum as load sensing, and never force the door or bypass the lock. this applies only where the ProSense feature and display are actually fitted; it is not a claim about all AEG washers.
first checks
- check progress as well as the display
identify the fitted ProSense feature in the model guide and note whether the wash continues after the initial calculation.
possible causes
- load sensing recalculates the programme duration
