Smeg / Washer dryer / BR2
The machine stops while warm
Stop using the washer dryer if it cuts out while unusually hot or produces a burning smell. Tell us approximately when the interruption occurred and what the display showed. Do not keep resetting it after cooling. The difference between a normal cooling stage and an abnormal stop needs the model and observed sequence.
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.
For the Hayes address
Specify Hayes in Bromley, Kent, with the complete BR2 postcode. This avoids confusing the address with other places named Hayes.
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 machine stops while warm” 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.
