Repair guidance / Creda / BR3
A water-container warning persists
Describe whether the warning returns immediately or during a cycle, and whether the model uses a removable container or a connected drain. Do not assume a full container is the only explanation. Keep the water-handling arrangement with the model details for the assessment.
A different pattern: drying takes several cycles
Record the load size, selected programme and whether clothes leave the washer unusually wet. Longer drying can reflect several conditions, including the condition of user-maintained filters. Follow only the cleaning steps in the manual; do not open sealed housings.
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 water-container warning persists”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “a water-container warning persists”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “drying takes several cycles”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Beckenham postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “drying takes several cycles” 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.
