Repair guidance / AEG / BR8
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 different pattern: the drum turns unevenly
Say whether the uneven movement occurs during washing, spinning, drying or all three. A drying reversal pattern can differ from the rapid spin. A short description of the stage and load is more useful than assuming a motor fault from the movement alone.
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.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “a leak happens only on drying”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “a leak happens only on drying”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the drum turns unevenly”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Swanley postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the drum turns unevenly” 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.
