Repair guidance / Sharp / BR2
Water stays in the drum
A wash that stops with water visible needs a drainage description before a spin complaint. Note whether the machine tried to empty, whether a warning appeared and whether the door stayed locked. Do not force the door or loosen a filter while the machine contains water.
A different pattern: the programme stops at filling
Describe whether water enters at all or enters briefly before the machine stops. Mention recent plumbing work or a moved appliance. A water-supply observation is useful, but it does not identify an inlet valve or control-board failure by itself.
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.
Identify this Sharp model

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “water stays in the drum”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “water stays in the drum”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the programme stops at filling”, 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 “the programme stops at filling” 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.
