Repair guidance / AEG / BR7
A drying warning appears
Quote the exact characters and identify whether they appear before heating, during tumbling or at the end. Different model families can use similar-looking warnings for different conditions. Keep the error description alongside the full model rather than ordering a part from the code alone.
A different pattern: a leak happens only on drying
The timing of the leak matters on a combined washer dryer. Note whether washing remains leak-free and where water first becomes visible during the drying phase. Stop use; the internal water and condensation arrangements must be checked for that particular model.
A fitted appliance behind a furniture door
Describe the visible furniture panel, plinth and surrounding cupboards. A built-in appliance needs its access and connection arrangement checked before removal; do not detach cabinetry or pull the appliance forward to make the enquiry.
Identify this AEG model
Include the product number (PNC) from the rating label if it is safely accessible.
Chislehurst address and access
Include the full BR7 postcode and entry instructions for the Chislehurst property. If the equipment is integrated or concealed behind a furniture door, mention that in the enquiry. Leave panels in place and identify any access restriction in words or an external photograph.
Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “a drying warning appears”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “a drying warning appears”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “a leak happens only on drying”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Chislehurst postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “a leak happens only on drying” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a fitted appliance behind a furniture door — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
