A warning has been issued <\/p>\nEight manufacturers have been affectedA warning has been issued <\/p>\n
Households across parts of Ireland have been issued with an “urgent” safety alert covering a range of tumble dryers.<\/p>\n
The alert concerns specific tumble dryer models, particularly those featuring an integrated heat pump. The warning advises consumers to stop using the machines immediately, turn them off and disconnect them from the mains until repairs can be carried out.<\/p>\n
Affected manufacturers include Baumatic, Candy, Caple, Haier, Hoover, Lamona, Iberna and Montpellier. Users are advised to verify their model and serial numbers online to determine if their machine is included and to contact the manufacturer to schedule a repair.<\/p>\n

If you discover that your machine is one of the affected models, it’s crucial to stop using the appliance immediately.<\/p>\n An internal short circuit can occur during regular use, leading to the tumble dryer catching fire.<\/p>\n Tumble dryers can also pose a significant fire risk if you neglect to remove the lint between loads, as accumulated dust can easily ignite.<\/p>\n The notice affects over 85,000 tumble dryers. If your appliance is among those listed, you must get in touch with the manufacturer to organise a repair.<\/p>\n It’s essential to check if your tumble dryer is affected and contact the manufacturer if it is. Even if you’ve bought the appliance second-hand or received it as a gift, you’re still entitled to a free modification. You’ll need to verify if your model number is affected.<\/p>\n Galway Beo\u2019s top stories and breaking news service on WhatsApp. Click this link<\/a> to receive breaking news and the latest headlines direct to your phone.
