Fisher & Paykel / Washing machine / BR6
Water appears at the front
Stop the appliance when water appears and keep away from wet electrical fittings. From a dry position, describe the first visible location and the programme stage. Do not slide the machine out to find the source. Mention unusual foam or water near the dispenser; different water paths can produce a similar puddle.
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.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “water appears at the front” 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.
