What has changed?
These are possible assessment areas, rather than a diagnosis or an instruction to dismantle the appliance.

Did the machine reach the end or stop with a message?
Drainage, pump operation or water-level information may need assessment.

Loading, water circulation, temperature or detergent delivery may contribute.
The programme does not receive water
Is any water heard and is an exact code displayed?
Supply, inlet control or protection conditions may need examination.
The wash appears cold
Did the full programme finish and is the load wet at the end?
Temperature selection, heating or sensing needs assessment.
The programme stops unexpectedly
Record the stage, remaining water and full display message.
Several water and control conditions can interrupt operation.
Water escapes while washing
Stop use and note the first safely visible source.
Connections, door sealing or internal leaks need inspection.
Make the model useful.
The kitchen supplier name and the appliance badge can differ. Identify the appliance from its own rating label before choosing a repair route.
Photograph the accessible door-edge label, keeping all product and service numbers visible.
Choose the address area.
When the fault comes and goes
A simple time line helps: what you selected, what happened and when it stopped. Do not keep using an appliance that leaks, overheats or trips the supply.
