Siemens Washing Machine Cycle Stuck On 1 Minute To Go
Hi Team,
Hopefully posted in the right forum and first post for now!
I have a Siemens washing machine WM14S794GB / 08 and it continues to run with 1 minute to go on the display.
I have cleaned all pipes, pump filters, etc and cannot find any blockages.
If I run the machine on a quick 15minute (30 degrees) programme, irrespective of spin speed then the cycle completed without any issues at all.
The problem only occurs if I choose a programme other than the quick 15 minute programme...
I have checked the forum and have read posts on heater elements, pressure switches but cannot understand how these could be faulty if the 15 minute cycle completes?
Not sure if I an applying the right logic to this but would appreciate any support or guidance as machine came out of extended warranty 5 months ago!
Thanks in advance.
Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Siemens WM14S794GB/08 stuck at 1 minute on most programmes
- The problem
- A Siemens washing machine WM14S794GB / 08 would continue running with 1 minute remaining on the display on programmes other than the quick 15 minute wash. The quick 15 minute 30°C programme completed normally at any spin speed. The owner had already cleaned pipes and the pump filter and found no blockage.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply said this symptom can have several causes rather than one confirmed fault. The main possibilities mentioned were a heating element gone open circuit, pressure system faults or blockages, or loading-related issues. A later post mentioned a disconnected heater wire on a different Siemens model, but that was not confirmed for this machine.
- What fixed it
- No specific repair for this machine was confirmed in the discussion. The strongest supported diagnosis is a likely heating or pressure-system related fault, despite the pump filter and pipes having been cleaned. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Cleaned pipes
- Cleaned pump filter
- Observed that the quick 15 minute 30°C programme completed normally
- Observed that other programmes remained at 1 minute
Safety: Do not carry out live electrical testing. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Sticking on the last minute seems to affect a lot of different makes and can be tricky to diagnose. Heating element going open circuit, pressure system faults or blockages or even loading issues are some potential causes.

I had the same exact problem on other siemens model (s 12-44). I have opened the back and found that the on the heating element one wire was disconnected!
reattached it and now thanks G-O-D everything works !!!
