Samsung / Tumble dryer / BR3
The drum turns without useful heat
State whether the appliance is vented, condenser or heat pump, then describe the temperature and drying result. The same no-heat description can involve different systems. Follow only accessible user-maintenance instructions in the manual. Stop use if an unusual hot smell develops, and do not repeat long runs to test it.
Compare this observation: the drum does not turn
Stop the dryer if the drum remains stationary while a sound or heat is present. Tell us whether the display lights and how the attempted start ends. Do not rotate it by hand to assist starting, bypass the door switch or continue repeated attempts. The model and starting behaviour guide 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.
For the Beckenham address
BR3 is the starting point for Beckenham. Include the full postcode and whether access involves a flat entrance, stairs or fitted cabinetry. Do not move the appliance to prepare a photograph.
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 drum turns without useful heat” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the drum does not turn”. 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.
