Gaggenau Washer takes too long
If your Gaggenau washer is taking too long to wash, the problem may be a restricted water supply or a component that is slowing the cycle. First, make sure both the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. A closed or partially open valve can cause a washer cycle too long or prevent the machine from filling properly. If the supplies are open, test the washing machine heating element with a multimeter for electrical continuity. A failed heating element may keep the washer from reaching the selected water temperature, making the washing machine take too long to complete the cycle. Next, check the water pressure and inspect the screens in the water inlet valve hose connections. A defective water inlet valve can cause the washer to fill slowly or not fill at all. These checks can help answer, "Why does my washer take so long?" Enter your Gaggenau washer's model number to find the exact replacement heating element or water inlet valve for your specific machine. Always unplug the washer and shut off the water supply before servicing internal parts.
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 - Gaggenau 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 - Gaggenau 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.
