Why should I not stop drying whenever the display adds time?

An updated estimate can be part of a programme responding to the load. Cancelling whenever it changes can prevent the machine from reaching its intended finish.

Understanding this situation

This differs from a cycle that repeatedly fails to progress, produces a warning or overheats. The correct response depends on the model's documented behaviour and whether the load is suitable, not just a changing number.

A useful next step

Allow a safe normal programme to complete as instructed. Record persistent unexplained extensions with the load and target. If a safety symptom appears, stop appropriately; do not continue simply because changing times can sometimes be normal.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
