Safety Notice - Tumble Dryers

Following Whirlpool's acquisition of the Hotpoint/Indesit brands, Indesit Company has closely reviewed the safety of its product portfolio.

As part of this review we have identified a potential concern with two types of tumble dryers manufactured between April 2004 and September 2015. In some rare cases, excess fluff can come into contact with the heating element and present a risk of fire. The affected brands are:

  • Ariston
  • Hotpoint
  • Indesit
  • Creda

We are activating an extensive consumer outreach and service action plan in order to provide our consumers with products that are updated to higher safety and quality standards. We will arrange a visit from an engineer, free of charge, to modify your appliance. The service call will take approximately one hour. The improvements we believe are necessary will further enhance the safety and quality of your dryer.

You should unplug and do not use the tumble dryer before a modification has taken place. If your tumble dryer has already been modified or you have purchased a replacement machine from ourselves then no further action is required.

Check your tumble dryer

Please use the 'self service' model checker to confirm if your appliance is affected and for next steps should your model require corrective action.
