Overview
- Owners are told to stop using listed machines immediately due to a fire risk caused by a potential internal short circuit during normal use.
- Consumers should check model and serial numbers online for affected units sold under Baumatic, Candy, Caple, Haier, Hoover, Lamona, Iberna and Montpellier.
- OPSS paused Haier’s first repair programme over safety concerns and permitted a revised modification following further assessment.
- Haier reports that about 85,000 of the originally identified 103,000 integrated heat‑pump dryers still require the free repair.
- People are advised to switch off and unplug the appliance if the plug is accessible and to contact the manufacturer to arrange the no‑cost fix, including for second‑hand or gifted units.
