How to Find Out if Your Tumble Dryer Is Safe

Spot a green “dot” sticker inside the door area or on the back? Your dryer already has the safety fix – no worries there.

If there’s no green dot, you must check your model and serial number. You’ll find these either on the back of the dryer door or in the door recess.
