Freezer · useful observations
Keep the temperature warning in context.
Mention any alarm, visible frost and recent change in use. Do not chip ice or apply improvised heat to uncover an inaccessible label.
Ice is building in a different place
Describe where it can be seen and whether the door closes normally. Do not chip the ice or dismantle liners. Door sealing and ordinary defrost/control observations can be useful context.
There is a new sound
Use ordinary words such as scrape, thud, buzz or rattle and say when it starts. Stop use where sound comes with burning, smoke, leaking electrics or unsafe movement.
If someone else uses the appliance
Ask them for the last setting and any display message they observed. Keep the original observation separate from a later interpretation.
Before sending photographs
Show the normal fitted position and an accessible display. Avoid people, private documents and unrelated personal details in the frame.
Your Hartley enquiry
Use the complete service postcode for your Hartley address. DA3 is a broad postal reference, not a service boundary. Explain the actual fitting and access; a locality guide is not a branch or a confirmed booking.
