Miele / Tumble dryer / BR6
The cabinet becomes unusually hot
Stop the dryer when the cabinet becomes unusually hot or smells scorched. Keep the account to what was already observed; do not run another cycle to compare temperatures. Mention surrounding storage or a recent move. Never bypass temperature protection, open the housing or rely on repeated cooling and resetting.
Compare this observation: the door will not stay closed
Describe whether the door will not latch, drops out of alignment or closes but produces a warning. Stop use if it cannot close normally. Do not tape it shut or bypass the safety switch. Give the model and an external view of the hinge and catch area for the enquiry.
Entry or stairs affect the visit.
Add the floor level, entrance arrangements and route to the equipment. Those details help plan access without assuming a particular property layout.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “the cabinet becomes unusually hot” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the door will not stay closed”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: entry or stairs affect the visit. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
