Sadly there are 2 more appliances that have been identified as having a serious safety issue and can potentially catch fire in our homes. This time it’s Beko & Blomberg. The affected dryers are 8 & 9kg condensor tumble dryers manufactured between May and November 2012.
Affected model numbers –
Logik is a brand made exclusively for Currys. Logik LVD7W15 tumble dryers manufactured between March and April 2016 have been identified as having a serious safety issue. It has been realised that the heating element can potentially overheat and catch fire. If you know anyone who has one let them know immediately. If you have one you need to unplug it and stop using it until it has been made safe.
