Mine is also one of the dodgy ones. Looks like I am joining the que behind fundy.

Hotpoint VTD6000. Bought it this year i think, so its pretty new. Although they said its end of life and will be replacing with the equivalent.
EDIT: FYI it was a random Manchester phone number (0161) that i would typically ignore as it looked like a cold caller sales number, but was bored so answered the call.

Thanks. Mine is also one of the affected ones. "We will be contacting you within the next 8 weeks to arrange your repair visit.". Doesn't look like I'll be getting a new one. 
They asked me to put year of purchase. I honestly have no idea. I put 2012 but it was probably earlier.
I suppose I'll have to tell the missus as she will have a dicky fit and probably want to ban us from using it. Thankfully I always empty the lint filter, I'm the only one in the house that does. I had to replace the switch on mine the other week and so vacuumed any dust out from inside the dryer. It wasn't too bad surprisingly.
I think this is one of the main problems. So many don't clean out the filters.

That's the same message I'd had in November so will be interesting to see what happens. Mine is a different model toy ours.

Just had my new one delivered. Not happy!
New on is a lesser model, worse energy rating and retail 100 quid less than the one i bought originally!
My suggestion is get clarification from the customer service dept on the exact model they will be replacing with and check it out online before accepting. I have just written their customer services dept an email asking for this to be rectified. (I also want to blag a silver one, as the new house has a utility room and we have the silver washing machine! LOL)

I have still heard absolutely nothing on this since I originally reported the problem.

from what the lads delivering said, they are going round regionally. this week is reading and surround areas, last week was cumbria! They are averaging 20 tumble dryer swaps a day! BUt hopefully the company has more than these 2 lads in a truck nationally!
