Smeg / Tumble dryer / BR7
A water-container warning persists
Explain whether the appliance collects water in a container or uses a connected drain. Note when the warning reappears and whether drying begins first. Keep hoses attached and leave internal water-handling parts alone. A container warning is an observation; it does not always establish that the container is simply full.
Compare this observation: the control panel has no lights
Tell us whether the panel is entirely dark or responds briefly when selected. Mention any earlier intermittent operation, burning smell or supply protection event. Do not open the controls or repeatedly reset a circuit. Leave the appliance unused if electrical damage is suspected and arrange an appropriate professional 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 Chislehurst address
For Chislehurst, provide the complete BR7 postcode and describe the equipment location inside the property. Include any fitted furniture door or restricted access.
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 “a water-container warning persists” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the control panel has no lights”. 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.
