Repair guidance / Caple / BR6
Detergent is left in the dispenser
Tell us whether the dispenser has opened and whether the tablet is dry, softened or partly dissolved. The result can depend on water movement, loading and programme progress. Avoid deciding that the dispenser must be replaced solely because detergent remains.
A different pattern: the door feels too heavy
An integrated furniture door adds weight to the opening mechanism. Describe whether the door drops, will not stay open or catches the plinth. Do not remove tensioned hinges or springs; photographs of the closed front and surrounding cabinetry can clarify the access requirement.
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 Caple model

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “detergent is left in the dispenser”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “detergent is left in the dispenser”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the door feels too heavy”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Orpington postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the door feels too heavy” 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.
