How to report an appliance fault

A technician can prepare better when the report includes more than “it does not work”: model, failure stage and accompanying symptoms matter.

Safety rule: stop when there is smoke, sparking, a burning smell, electric-shock signs, an active leak, cracked hob glass or suspected gas. Disconnect only when it is safe to do so.

Appliance data

  1. Full brand, model and product number from the rating plate.
  2. Approximate purchase date and warranty information.
  3. History of previous repairs and replaced parts.

Symptom description

  1. What the appliance does and does not do.
  2. At which stage of a programme the issue appears.
  3. Whether it is constant, random or dependent on load or temperature.

Useful materials

  1. Photo of the error code before reset.
  2. A short sound video only when the appliance can safely run.
  3. List of safe steps already tried.
