Washing machine · your observations
Was it the wash, the emptying or the final spin?
Begin with the stage you recognised, rather than the part you suspect. A drum holding water and an emptied drum with wet laundry need different descriptions. Keep the programme, door status and exact warning with your full model reference.
Why drainage and spinning are separate
Many machines will not proceed to the final spin while water remains. Say whether it emptied, whether the door unlocked and what the panel showed. Those observations help keep a drainage enquiry separate from a drive or load-balance question.
There is water left before the spin
Keep visible water, the locked-door status and any warning together. Drain path, pump or level information may need assessment, but the retained water does not distinguish them by itself. Never force the door.
A different sound starts during use
Describe the sound and its timing: at selection, during movement or at the end. Stop use for smoke, burning or uncontrolled movement instead of running another demonstration.
When the last user is someone else
Ask for their description of the selection and outcome where possible. Retain what was actually observed rather than replacing it with a guessed component name.
When a part has been suggested online
Retain the exact product and observation for the team to assess. A generic article or a code from another family is not confirmation of a part order or stock availability.
