Bosch / Washing machine / BR3
Water stays in the drum
Tell us how far the programme reached before the water remained, and whether the usual emptying sound occurred. Include any message shown on the display. Leave the door shut if water is inside, and do not release a filter or hose to investigate. The drainage route needs assessment before a part can be identified.
Compare this observation: the door will not release
Note whether the machine still indicates an active programme, a warning or a completed cycle. Say whether water remains visible through the door. Keep the handle intact and do not try to release the lock with tools. The display state and programme stage are more useful than guessing which locking part is required.
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 Beckenham address
BR3 is the starting point for Beckenham. Include the full postcode and whether access involves a flat entrance, stairs or fitted cabinetry. Do not move the appliance to prepare a photograph.
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 “water stays in the drum” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the door will not release”. 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.
