Repair guidance / CDA / BR2
The machine does not fill
Tell us whether it starts pumping, gives a warning or stays completely silent. Mention a recently moved machine or changed sink connection. Do not pull an integrated dishwasher out to reach the inlet or defeat a protective device.
A different pattern: the dishes stay cold and greasy
Record the programme and whether it finishes normally. Poor cleaning and failed heating are related observations, but either can involve more than a heater. Report detergent left behind, programme interruptions and whether the problem affects every wash.
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 CDA model
Provide the complete model and serial number from a safely accessible rating label. Do not remove panels or move heavy equipment to find it.
Preparing the Keston visit
Keep the Keston address and complete postcode together with the equipment details. Mention whether this enquiry concerns a fitted appliance, an existing pump or a unit below the kitchen sink so the intended work is clear before booking.
Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the machine does not fill”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the machine does not fill”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the dishes stay cold and greasy”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Keston postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the dishes stay cold and greasy” 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.
