Repair guidance / Creda / BR2
The drum does not turn
Tell us whether the display lights and whether a motor sound is heard before the dryer stops. A stationary drum can have more than one cause. Do not push-start the drum, defeat the door switch or continue running the appliance while it is stalled.
A different pattern: the drum turns without useful heat
Identify whether the dryer is vented, condenser or heat pump and whether clothes remain cold throughout. Those types manage heat differently, so the same symptom does not imply the same part. Stop if there is a burning smell rather than repeating long test runs.
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 Creda 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 drum does not turn”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the drum does not turn”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the drum turns without useful heat”, 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 drum turns without useful heat” 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.
