Repair guidance / Hoover / BR2
Washing works but drying does not
Separate the successful wash from the unsuccessful drying stage. Record whether the drum turns, the load becomes warm and the drying phase ends normally. A combined appliance has model-specific drying arrangements, so a general tumble-dryer diagnosis should not be assumed.
A different pattern: the machine stops while warm
An interruption during drying is a different enquiry from one during the cold wash. Describe the displayed message and how long it ran before stopping. Switch off an appliance that smells hot or scorched; do not bypass a thermal device or keep resetting it.
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 Hoover model

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “washing works but drying does not”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “washing works but drying does not”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the machine stops while warm”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Hayes postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the machine stops while warm” 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.
