Repair guidance / Hotpoint / BR4
The dryer stops before clothes are dry
Give the selected automatic or timed programme and the approximate stopping point. Sensor behaviour, load composition and a fault stop can look alike at the end. Include any warning and whether the appliance reports a normal completion.
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.
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.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the dryer stops before clothes are dry”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the dryer stops before clothes are dry”, 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 West Wickham 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 — limited working space around the equipment — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
