Seeing that a few members have been affected by this and it must have been a frightening experience for them I think we need to take this a little more seriously

We have a two year old Indesit Tumble Dryer which works well - it is the vented type having previously had a condenser type that was absolutely useless .
ONE THING I WOULD RECOMMEND IS REGULAR REMOVAL OF THE FLUFF BUILD-UP IN THE FILTER. With ours you simply pull out a basket thing that sits on the bottom of the open door hatch. Then you can peel off the "blanket" of fluff that has been caught. From what I understand it is when this fluff filter gets overloaded and the motor overheats and then sets this fluff alight. I am staggered at how much fluff is collected even after one use. I sometimes wonder how i possibly have any clothes left. (Good heads up George - just seen your post of 12:41) |

Users think the lint collector just inside the door is the only filter .. The big one is at the bottom. |

I had an engineer out to fix a related problem.
He said it's down to these stupid efficiency ratings. If the machines used a little more water to flush the system, and stop the fluff etc building up, this problem would be less likely to occur. Obviously better that it saves 7 pence of water a day, than it is safe and reliable. |

I know it is a car forum...
...however as this thread may well save lives, please may it be made a "sticky"?

The idea was , if you think about it.....the fire would melt the bucket and hopefully the spilled water would put out any fire. I put the icon as it was a daft idea that might just work. Please don`t assume I am making fun of this kind of thing, I am not at all. A friend of mine had this happen and I would not take the p-iss out of him. Ken. |

no offence taken
Morning Ken
No offence taken I think the issue is water and electricity don't mix although it would be a good idea for some kind of powder/co2 system to be introduced into the system. regards steve Last edited by steveo; 16th February 2016 at 05:42.. |
