Smeg / Washing machine / BR1
The programme stops at filling
Describe the first minute of the attempted programme: lights, sounds and any water entering. Mention whether the appliance was recently moved or a nearby water connection changed. Keep checks external and leave hoses attached. These observations help separate an interrupted start from a filling complaint without assuming a particular component has failed.
Compare this observation: water appears at the front
Stop the appliance when water appears and keep away from wet electrical fittings. From a dry position, describe the first visible location and the programme stage. Do not slide the machine out to find the source. Mention unusual foam or water near the dispenser; different water paths can produce a similar puddle.
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 Bromley address
For a Bromley address, include the full BR1 postcode and entry arrangements. The district alone does not identify the property or confirm the visit.
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 “the programme stops at filling” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “water appears at the front”. 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.
