Anyone got Hotpoint, Indesit or Creda tumble dryers?

[ColchesterFC]

Has anyone got one of the above tumble dryers as it seems there is a fault with them that needs fixing.

It's worth checking as including myself there are 6 people I know that have checked their machines and 5 of us have got the fault.

Thanks for posting.

Is that part of the remedial process???

Ours is affected too. Thanks for posting. Amazing how useful a golf forum can be for non golf things.

Not what I got offered, I bought mine 6 months ago from currys and have been informed I will be contacted within 5 weeks for an engineer to visit and perform a modification to prevent the fire risk. Not sure if maybe some models are just junked and others fixed maybe??

Just wondered if a replacement had been offered, or whether Paul was "chancing his arm"

Sounds like my dad, he would take it back to the shop and kick off when there is a defined process and protocol in place..

Phoned Costco last night as I wasn't happy with the 6-8 week wait for the engineer, as Costco is a members club some items carry longer Guarantees, Lady at Costco, said no problem, bring it back anyway.
