Whirlpool Expands Washing Machine Recall to 55,000 More Units
Whirlpool has added 21 more washing machine models to its massive recall list. This latest move could slap an extra 55,000 faulty machines on top of the 500,000 already pulled from homes across the UK.
Fire Risk Sparks Urgent Safety Action
The recall warns that certain washing machines risk door lock fires caused by overheating during use. Whirlpool urges owners to unplug their machines immediately and register for a free replacement before disaster strikes.
Safety First Amid Coronavirus Concerns
With the pandemic still ongoing, Whirlpool has outlined strict health measures to keep customers and staff safe during replacements. The company is sticking closely to government guidelines to manage the recall smoothly and securely.
Free Swaps and Full Service
Consumers affected by the recall will get a complete free replacement service. Whirlpool will remove old machines and install new ones at no cost. This comes after intense monitoring by the Office for Product Safety and Standards, which has been tracking the issue since the initial recall was first announced on 17 December 2019.
