Steam features add a valve and a heater to the usual front-load hardware, so there is a little more to go wrong, and steam cycles legitimately run long. Checking the program description in the manual settles most complaints about duration.
Owner maintenance is the boot, the dispenser and the pump filter with the machine unplugged. Steam valve and heater diagnosis requires a technician.
