Repair guidance / Sharp / 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: drying never starts after washing
Note whether water remains in the drum or the machine stops before the transition to drying. A problem earlier in the programme can prevent drying from being authorised. Tell us the last successful stage and the selected combined programme.
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 “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, “drying never starts after washing”, 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 “drying never starts after washing” 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.
