There have been millions of these dryers which have been associated with a fire risk. You need to open the dryer door and get the full model number and serial number from a label on the inside of the door. You need to enter these details into the manufacturer’s website. If your dryer is affected follow the manufactures advice. No repairs will be done to affected dryers without the necessary modification to alleviate the fire risk.

Dryer Advice

On all dryers the lint filter at the front should be cleaned every load. On condensing dryers the condenser box should be cleaned every month. You can check how to do this from the manufacturer’s instructions (if you don’t have them then they can be downloaded easily).

On vented dryers (ones with a vent hose at the back) make sure the vent hose is not kinked or blocked outside at the vent cover.
