Repair guidance / Smeg / BR3
Water collects below the drawers
Note whether water gathers inside the fresh-food section, under the cabinet or near a door edge. Those locations suggest different inspection routes. Keep food protected and avoid pouring chemicals or forcing objects into an unfamiliar drainage opening.
A different pattern: the display warns despite apparently cold food
Copy the precise warning and record the temperature reading if already available. A warning can concern more than the apparent feel of the food. Do not cancel alerts repeatedly without recording them; give the model and which compartment is affected.
Equipment sharing space with other fittings
Mention stacked equipment, adjacent storage or a cupboard arrangement that limits access. An external picture can be useful. Leave the surrounding fittings in place until the person assessing the job confirms what access is required.
Identify this Smeg model
Provide the complete model and serial number from a safely accessible rating label. Do not remove panels or move heavy equipment to find it.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “water collects below the drawers”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “water collects below the drawers”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the display warns despite apparently cold food”, 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 display warns despite apparently cold food” 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 — equipment sharing space with other fittings — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
