Debs, I've just intercepted a second email from Hotpoint to you. It says if however you should experience a fire, destroying your house and all your worldly possessions within the next 8 weeks before our Service Engineer attends then please accept our deepest sympathies.

Strange you should make that observation Steve...............yesterday I received a telephone call from Indesit (about our tumble dryer)apologising profusely for not getting in touch sooner, I explained that they had been in touch twice, I was informed that I should have received an email (which I haven't) providing more detail/updates about a repair.

In te meantime we are waiting for them to act .................could be a longish wait methinks

Well July 08 2015 my LG Condenser tumble drier ignited whilst I was at work (left it with 20 mins to go on cycle, and had cleaned filters that week) moved back in on Jan 22nd 2016, left with clothes I went to work in, so everyone the rule is , do not leave them running while you are not there. PS the Firemen told me 20% house fires are started by washing machines, 11% by tumble driers, so I have bought a Miele gear as replacements, as I have not heard of one of theirs going up in smoke.
Its been a long hard six plus months living out of a suitcase, and happy to be back in my home, with everything new, but its not the same, and what I think of the builders is unprintable lol

Role on May when I'm off to Italy on the GTR 3000 miles and Mugello to see the great man race

Blimey  you have certainlyhad a rough ridethere 73, lets hope that your fortunes i prove from now on.

Since the phone call in early February we have heard nothing.

Now, I accept that the engineers department at Hotpoint are extremely busy, but I do think that the implications of this malfunction are extremely  serious.

TBH I think its an unacceptable situation,

Roger, sounds like something which you should notify the local press, The Leyburn Gazette or alternatively Trading Standards.

      nah you mean the Leyburn Bugle Steve

To be honest you need to get on Hotpoints case, because the ramifications of a fire are truly horrible, I am fully realising how much I lost as I attempt to replace what I can, but pictures, signed prints etc, basically irreplaceable, and my complete collection of Giles

Hi

My mum n dads drier is one of the ones affected, they have been given a date in September when it will be modified, 6 months, this is very poor.

At home our drier and washing machine live outside under a lean to roof, previous home they were in the workshop, I would never have either machine in the house, far to much damage can be done with leaks or smoke, never mind fire.

September? That's unacceptable.

I was offered a repair date in July, or the option of a brand new condenser replacement drier delivered for just £99. That will be here in a couple of weeks, if everything goes to plan.

Cheers

I always clean the condenser every month. Did it today and it was minging
