Some problems are performance issues, while others are safety concerns. Mention leaks, sparks, gas odor, burning smells, or repeated breaker trips early in the call. For appliance requests, common details include leaks or water under the appliance, appliance won't start, and noisy operation.
Leaks may come from hoses, valves, seals, clogged drains, or a failing pump. Also note whether the problem started suddenly, happens every cycle, or appears only under certain settings.
