Smeg / Washing machine / BR3
Water stays in the drum
Tell us how far the programme reached before the water remained, and whether the usual emptying sound occurred. Include any message shown on the display. Leave the door shut if water is inside, and do not release a filter or hose to investigate. The drainage route needs assessment before a part can be identified.
Compare this observation: the wash result changes
Explain what is different about the finished laundry: residue, cleaning, smell or wetness. Include the programme and any recent change of detergent or load. A cool final load alone does not establish a heating failure. Give the observed result, and leave temperature sensing, heating and control checks to the 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 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 manufacturer reference checked on 2026-10-26. Model identity does not confirm parts, stock or repair acceptance.
A useful question for the enquiry
Does “water stays in the drum” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the wash result changes”. 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.
