AEG / Washer dryer / BR8
A leak happens only on drying
Stop use when a leak occurs during drying, even if washing appears normal. Describe where water first appears and how far the drying programme has progressed. Avoid moving the machine or disconnecting pipework. Combined appliances manage water and moisture in model-specific ways, so the timing helps prepare an appropriate inspection.
Compare this observation: the drum turns unevenly
Identify the operation during which the drum movement changes: washing, fast spin or drying. Different stages can use different turning patterns. Describe a new noise or interruption separately from ordinary reversals. Keep hands clear of a moving drum and do not open the cabinet; the model and stage help make the report useful.
The fitting is behind a furniture panel.
Describe the panel, plinth and visible surroundings. Leave the appliance fitted; photographs and an access description are enough to begin.
For the Swanley address
Swanley enquiries need the complete BR8 address and the actual appliance or specialist unit. The online request starts a conversation; it does not reserve a visit by itself.
Read the identity, not just the badge.
Quote the complete model and serial or service number from a safely visible label. Similar product names can hide different components. If the label is concealed, leave the appliance in place and tell us the model is unknown.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “a leak happens only on drying” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the drum turns unevenly”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: the fitting is behind a furniture panel. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
