Candy / Washing machine / BR7
A knock develops as the speed rises
Stop using the machine if it knocks heavily or moves as the spin builds. Describe when the sound begins and whether it repeats with drum movement. Do not steady a moving cabinet by hand or reach behind it. Include the model and any recent move so the arrangement can be assessed safely.
Compare this observation: 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.
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 “a knock develops as the speed rises” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “water stays in the drum”. 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.
