Miele / 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: drying never starts after washing
Record the last stage that completed successfully before drying was expected. Mention water still visible, an unfinished spin or a warning on the display. Do not force a transition by repeated restarts. A drying phase that never begins may depend on an earlier interruption, so the sequence matters more than a suspected part.
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.

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 “drying never starts after washing”. 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.
