01.02.13 White Knight Condenser Tumble Dryers

Details

The manufacturer has issued the following safety notice:

It has come to our attention that a purchased connector component has been supplied to us which is not to our specification and that this has been fitted to 1800 White Knight Condenser dryers built in Oct 2010 and June 2011. We believe that the use of this connector can potentially lead to overheating of the appliance and if left unresolved could create a potential fire hazard over time. We wish to find all of the affected dryers within the serial numbers below, and replace them free of charge to eliminate the risk.

Models:

  • 0312 76A 15002 (77AW)
  • 0312 767 15009 (767C)
  • 0312 76A 15010 (77AW)
  • 0312 76A 15330 (77AS)
  • 0312 76A 31000 (CL76AWH)

 

We are trying to identify the location of these machines in order to remove the potential risk associated with this connector. First, please check if you have one of the models listed above, and if so, please check whether your appliance has a serial number from the following list of potentially affected batches (the model and serial number can be found inside the door of your dryer as shown in the diagram).
