Hotpoint / Washing machine / BR1
The programme stops at filling
Describe the first minute of the attempted programme: lights, sounds and any water entering. Mention whether the appliance was recently moved or a nearby water connection changed. Keep checks external and leave hoses attached. These observations help separate an interrupted start from a filling complaint without assuming a particular component has failed.
Compare this observation: the display is dark
Leave the machine switched off if a blank display follows sparks, a hot smell or electrical protection operating. Do not open controls or repeatedly restore a tripping supply. Tell us whether the panel is entirely dark or gives a brief response, and whether the loss of operation was sudden or intermittent.
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 Bromley address
For a Bromley address, include the full BR1 postcode and entry arrangements. The district alone does not identify the property or confirm the visit.
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 “the programme stops at filling” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the display is dark”. 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.
