Hoover / Washer dryer / BR7
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.
Compare this observation: a drying warning appears
Copy the full warning and note whether it appears when drying is selected, after warming or near completion. Include whether the washing stage still works normally. A brief photograph of an already visible display can help. Do not select repeated drying runs just to reproduce the message; the exact model is essential.
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 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 “drying takes much longer” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “a drying warning 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.
