Beko and Blomberg 8 kg and 9 kg condenser tumble dryers made May–November 2012: fire risk

A batch of a third-party component can, rarely, fail and overheat, creating a fire risk.

What to do: Stop using the dryer as a precaution. Check the model and the 10-digit serial on the sticker at the bottom of the inner rim of the door opening; if affected, register for a free in-home modification by a Beko engineer (about 30 minutes) or call 0800 917 2018 (UK) / 1800 25 29 25 (Ireland). Do not use a local engineer.
