Repair guidance / Franke / BR1
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 different pattern: a continuous pump sound continues
Explain whether pumping begins immediately, even before a programme is selected, and whether a warning accompanies it. Continuous pumping can be a protective response rather than proof that the pump itself is defective. Stop use and do not tip the appliance as a workaround.
Limited working space around the equipment
Give the available working space and describe anything that obstructs normal access. An appliance being visible does not make it safe to pull out or loosen: cables, connected pipework, fixings and the surrounding floor need to be considered before any movement.
Identify this Franke 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.
Bromley and the full address
Send the full postcode and entry details with the Bromley address. If the equipment is in a flat, describe the route from the entrance to the room. Address and access are checked before a Monday–Thursday appointment is confirmed.
Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the dishes stay cold and greasy”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the dishes stay cold and greasy”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “a continuous pump sound continues”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Bromley postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “a continuous pump sound continues” 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 — limited working space around the equipment — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
