Candy / Washer dryer / BR6
The door stays locked after drying
Explain whether the display shows completion, cooling or an error after drying. Give the time already allowed for the normal release described in the manual. Do not prise the handle or attempt an emergency release without the correct instructions. Tell us about visible water and any unusual heat when requesting advice.
Compare this observation: 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.
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.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “the door stays locked after drying” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “drying takes much longer”. 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.
