Repair guidance / Siemens / BR2
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 different pattern: the wash phase leaves water
Explain whether pumping can be heard and whether the machine reaches the rinse or spin. Remaining water can affect both laundry and drying performance. Do not open a water-filled machine or undo a drain connection to test it.
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 “drying never starts after washing”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “drying never starts after washing”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the wash phase leaves water”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Keston postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the wash phase leaves water” 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.
