Repair guidance / Indesit / BR8
A leak happens only on drying
The timing of the leak matters on a combined washer dryer. Note whether washing remains leak-free and where water first becomes visible during the drying phase. Stop use; the internal water and condensation arrangements must be checked for that particular model.
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.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “a leak happens only on drying”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “a leak happens only on drying”, 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 Swanley 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.
