John Lewis Tumble dryer · your observations
Did the programme finish, or just stop?
Identify the dryer format and describe the laundry at the end. A timed programme, a sensor programme and a drum that does not turn are different starting points. Note whether the clothes were warm, cold or still damp.
The drying format belongs in the model account
Vented, condenser and heat-pump dryers handle moisture differently. State the actual format rather than guessing from appearance. Ordinary sensing or drive enquiries must not be confused with excluded heat-pump sealed-system work.
Liquid is visible outside its usual route
Describe the first visible location and the stage of operation. Do not move connected equipment to trace a leak. Stop use where water approaches electrical parts or waste begins to back up.
The panel is dark, or the buttons do not respond
These are separate observations. Note which lights or displays remain visible and any interruption you already know about. Leave electrical housings shut; an enquiry does not require live testing.
When a previous symptom seems to return
Mention earlier work using documents or dates you actually have. Similar behaviour can need a fresh assessment; the same phrase does not necessarily describe the same cause.
When a photograph would help
Use the accessible panel or normal fitted position and check for private paperwork in the frame. Never recreate burning, tripping or dangerous leakage for the camera.
Reading the John Lewis label
Keep the full installed John Lewis designation, the actual product type and the existing control arrangement. This name identifies an enquiry route; it does not establish current manufacture, parts stock, replacement compatibility or acceptance of every product.
At your Caterham address
Give the full service postcode and describe the actual fitted access in Caterham. CR3 is a broad postal reference. This guide does not establish a separate branch, service boundary or agreed attendance.
