Miele / Washer dryer / BR6
The door stays locked after drying
Explain whether the display shows completion, cooling or an error after drying. Give the time already allowed for the normal release described in the manual. Do not prise the handle or attempt an emergency release without the correct instructions. Tell us about visible water and any unusual heat when requesting advice.
Compare this observation: the wash phase leaves water
Describe whether the machine attempted to empty and whether it reached the spin. Water left during washing can affect the later drying stage too. Keep a water-filled door closed and leave drain connections attached. Record any warning and unusual sound so the enquiry describes the whole interrupted cycle rather than only damp laundry.
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.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “the door stays locked after drying” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the wash phase leaves water”. 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.
