Repair guidance / Siemens / BR1 / BR2
The drum turns unevenly
Say whether the uneven movement occurs during washing, spinning, drying or all three. A drying reversal pattern can differ from the rapid spin. A short description of the stage and load is more useful than assuming a motor fault from the movement alone.
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.

Bickley: distinguish BR1 from BR2
Bickley addresses can fall within BR1 or BR2. Include the full postcode rather than selecting a district from the town name. Keep any entry instructions alongside the address so the intended property can be checked before arranging the visit.
Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the drum turns unevenly”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the drum turns unevenly”, 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 Bickley 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.
