I didn't claim anything from the insurance as it just puts the premiums up.
we now NEVER leave the drier on when we are not at home.
It could have burnt the house down if it had been in the kitchen like most are.

We have a bedroom i turned into a laundry room.
I looked at a how to on the Indesit website and found cleaning out the relevent part very easy .
On my model you dont need any tools as its held in by plastic clips.
I was amazed what was in there .
Hair fluff bits of paper etc.
The air intake is right at floor level and sucks powerfully so anything small enough gets sucked in there.
I have now put the dryer on a big table to stop this and it also makes using it easier and frees up storage space under the table .
