Repair guidance / Samsung / BR3
A knock develops as the speed rises
A noise during acceleration has a different pattern from a steady noise throughout the wash. Say whether the cabinet moves, the drum sounds rough or the sound occurs only with particular loads. Stop use if the machine moves violently; internal inspection belongs to the engineer.
A different pattern: the wash result changes
Laundry that feels cold at the end of a cycle is not proof of failed heating because rinsing usually uses cold water. Describe the programme, detergent residue and cleaning result. Heating, sensing and programme control need assessment rather than a heater ordered on assumption.
A repair in a flat or a room reached by stairs
Include the floor level, entry arrangements and any stairs between the entrance and the equipment. These are practical booking details, not a reason to move the appliance yourself or promise that a repair can be completed on arrival.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “a knock develops as the speed rises”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “a knock develops as the speed rises”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the wash result changes”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Beckenham postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the wash result changes” 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 — a repair in a flat or a room reached by stairs — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
