I have just discovered that my tumble dryer is one of the ones that is condemned by Whirlpool as one of their faulty and could catch fire ones. Their recommendation is that it is unplugged and not used.
As mine carries the Indesit branding I had no idea that mine was potentially dangerous. ( If you want to check yours, you can do so here safety.hotpoint.eu/country.jsp?lang=en)
I need a tumble dryer - even the modified ones have been known to catch fire so I have zero faith in ever using mine again and it'll go to recycling.
The way Whirlpool have handled this appals me and I will not be buying any more of their products which knocks out Hotpoint and Indesit.
Anyone any recent experience with new Candy or Hoover branded machines? I'm having trouble justifying the price of Bosch, Miele or AEG for a basic tumble dryer. I don't need anything terribly fancy.
