W74 Slooow

[buddy]

I have W74 that is taking about 20-30 minutes longer than it should. It seems first half of the cycle is fine it's the later half that is slow.

Any ideas???
Thanks

My first thought is that the drain (below the tub) is partially blocked.

The other possibility (More likely I think) is that the screens for the cold water valve are plugging up. I say this because if people use hot or warm to wash (which most do) it would fill OK for the wash and prewash but the rinses are cold and that would make the second half slooooow.

It was combination of both. The rubber boots on the drain valve had become hard as a rock due to dried suds. Also water inlet was very slow. I replaced the Drain Boot and hose screen and now it works like a charm.

Thank you guys.
