Sharp / 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: a leak happens only on drying
Stop use when a leak occurs during drying, even if washing appears normal. Describe where water first appears and how far the drying programme has progressed. Avoid moving the machine or disconnecting pipework. Combined appliances manage water and moisture in model-specific ways, so the timing helps prepare an appropriate inspection.
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 door stays locked after drying” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “a leak happens only on drying”. 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.
