Whirlpool have written to The Association of British Insurers (ABI) to raise awareness of the latest issues.
In December Whirlpool alerted customers to a safety risk concerning certain models of Hotpoint and Indesit washing machines. Whirlpool are urging owners of such appliances purchased since 2014 to contact them immediately to check if their washing machine is one of the models affected.
This can be done online https://washingmachinerecall.whirlpool.co.uk/ or by calling the freephone helpline on 0800 316 1442.
