- Logik LVD7W15 manufactured between March 2016 and April 2016
Logik is a brand sold exclusively through Currys in the UK, which is why the recall is handled through Currys rather than a separate manufacturer. The model number and serial number are printed on a label behind the dryer door.
If you cannot see the label clearly, our guide on how to find an appliance model number covers the common label locations on tumble dryers.
What should you do if you own one?
Three short steps. The repair itself is fully covered by Currys regardless of how long ago you bought the dryer.
-
Stop using the dryer and unplug it. Pull the plug at the wall immediately. Do not run it again, even briefly, until the safety repair has been completed.
-
Find the model and serial numbers. Look on the label behind the door. Write down the full model number and the serial number – you will need both to book the repair.

Contact Currys to arrange the free safety repair. The original campaign phone number was 0344 561 6202. Quote your serial number and the postcode you used at purchase. If the number is no longer active, use Currys’ main customer service channels via their website.
The number 0344 561 6202 was set up specifically for this safety notice and may have been retired since. If you cannot reach it, contact Currys through their main customer service channels or visit the Currys website for current contact details for the safety campaign.
Original contact hours when the campaign launched were Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 6pm, and Sunday 10am to 5pm. Calls were charged at local rates.
Can you keep using the dryer while you wait for the repair?
No. The risk of fire is the reason the dryer has been recalled – it is not a precautionary checkup. Leave the dryer unplugged and do not run it for any reason until Currys has carried out the repair.
Whether or not your dryer is part of this specific safety notice, the general advice on tumble dryers always applies. Never leave one running while out of the house or asleep, clean the lint filter after every load, and keep a working smoke alarm in the area. See our wider list of tumble dryer fire-risk safety notices covering other brands and models.
If you know anyone who has a Logik LVD7W15 tumble dryer, please share this notice with them immediately. These dryers are now several years old and may have changed hands, been given away, or be in use in a second home, holiday let, or rental property where the original safety notice never reached the current owner.
Other current tumble dryer and appliance safety notices
Logik is one of several brands to have issued a tumble dryer safety notice in recent years. If you own an older dryer from a different brand, it is worth checking whether it is part of an active recall too.
Frequently asked questions
Which Logik tumble dryer models are affected by the safety notice?
The notice covers the Logik LVD7W15 only, and only those units manufactured between March 2016 and April 2016. Dryers with the same model number made outside that production window are not part of the recall, but the model and serial number on the label behind the door are the definitive way to confirm.
How do I check whether my specific Logik dryer is affected?
Find the model and serial number on the label behind the dryer door, then contact Currys with both numbers and the postcode you used at purchase. Currys will check the production date against the recall list and arrange the free repair if your dryer is affected. Our guide on how to find an appliance model number covers the typical label locations.
Is the Logik safety repair free of charge?
Yes. Safety repairs are always free regardless of how old the appliance is or whether the original guarantee has expired. You do not need a receipt or proof of purchase – Currys can locate the original purchase from your postcode and the dryer’s serial number.
Can I keep using my Logik LVD7W15 while waiting for the repair?
No. The dryer is recalled because the heating element can overheat and catch fire – this is an active safety risk, not a precautionary check. Unplug it and leave it unplugged until the repair has been carried out, even if the appointment is days or weeks away.
What if I bought the Logik dryer second-hand?
The safety repair applies to the appliance regardless of who owns it now. If you bought it second-hand, contact Currys directly with the model and serial number – they will arrange the free repair without needing any paperwork from the previous owner. You may need to provide your own current address and postcode rather than the original purchase postcode.
What if the Currys phone number for the safety notice is no longer working?
Dedicated safety campaign numbers are often retired once the bulk of affected units have been repaired. If 0344 561 6202 is no longer in service, contact Currys through their main customer service number or website, mention that you have a Logik LVD7W15 tumble dryer subject to a safety notice, and they will route you to the right team.
