Repair guidance / Kenwood / BR1
Clothes are warm but remain wet
Give the washing load size and the amount left for drying. Many combined machines have a smaller drying capacity than washing capacity; use the particular manual rather than a general kilogram figure. Persistent dampness with an appropriate load needs inspection of the drying system.
A different pattern: 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.
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 Kenwood 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 “clothes are warm but remain wet”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “clothes are warm but remain wet”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “a leak happens only on drying”, 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 leak happens only on drying” 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.
