Haier / Tumble dryer / BR8
The control panel has no lights
Tell us whether the panel is entirely dark or responds briefly when selected. Mention any earlier intermittent operation, burning smell or supply protection event. Do not open the controls or repeatedly reset a circuit. Leave the appliance unused if electrical damage is suspected and arrange an appropriate professional assessment.
Compare this observation: drying takes several cycles
Describe the load, programme and condition of the laundry when it came from the washer. Mention whether the longer drying time is new or gradual. User-cleanable filters should be maintained only as the manual explains. Leave enclosed parts alone; prolonged drying does not identify a heating component by itself.
Working room is restricted.
Mention the space around the equipment and anything blocking normal access. Do not drag a machine out, loosen a mounting or disconnect pipework to show the fault.
For the Swanley address
Swanley enquiries need the complete BR8 address and the actual appliance or specialist unit. The online request starts a conversation; it does not reserve a visit by itself.
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 manufacturer reference checked on 2026-10-26. Model identity does not confirm parts, stock or repair acceptance.
A useful question for the enquiry
Does “the control panel has no lights” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “drying takes several cycles”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: working room is restricted. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
