Hisense / Tumble dryer / BR1 / BR2
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.
Compare this observation: a scraping or thumping sound appears
Stop using the dryer if a new scrape, heavy thump or displaced drum is noticed. Describe whether the sound repeats during rotation or only at starting. Do not reach into the cabinet or keep restarting it to clear the sound. Include the exact model and any recent move or loading change.
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 Bickley address
Bickley addresses can use BR1 or BR2. Keep the complete postcode with the house or flat identifier rather than choosing a district from the town name.
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 “drying takes several cycles” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “a scraping or thumping sound appears”. 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.
