Siemens / Tumble dryer / BR2
A scraping or thumping sound appears
Stop using the dryer if a new scrape, heavy thump or displaced drum is noticed. Describe whether the sound repeats during rotation or only at starting. Do not reach into the cabinet or keep restarting it to clear the sound. Include the exact model and any recent move or loading change.
Compare this observation: an error appears only after running
Copy the displayed warning and record the approximate stage at which it appears. Include whether the clothes are still cold, warm and wet or nearly dry. There is no need to run the machine again solely to collect a code. The full model and existing observations help determine the next assessment.
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 Keston address
Keep the Keston address, complete BR2 postcode and equipment details in one enquiry. A pump fault and an ordinary kitchen-appliance fault need different preparation.
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 manufacturer reference checked on 2026-10-26. Model identity does not confirm parts, stock or repair acceptance.
A useful question for the enquiry
Does “a scraping or thumping sound appears” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “an error appears only after running”. 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.
