Candy / Washer dryer / BR7
Drying takes much longer
Explain whether the longer drying time developed gradually or appeared suddenly. Include the type of load, selected setting and whether the displayed time keeps changing. Follow only maintenance listed for users in the manual. If overheating or a scorched smell accompanies the delay, stop use rather than extending the drying run.
Compare this observation: washing works but drying does not
Keep the washing result and drying result separate in your description. Say whether the drying phase begins, whether the clothes become warm and how the programme finishes. Include the selected combined cycle and approximate load. The drying arrangement belongs to the exact washer-dryer model; it should not be inferred from a separate dryer.
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 Chislehurst address
For Chislehurst, provide the complete BR7 postcode and describe the equipment location inside the property. Include any fitted furniture door or restricted access.
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 “drying takes much longer” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “washing works but drying does not”. 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.
