                All sorted here VC although I'm still making sure fluff is removed and dryer switched off at main. Problem as I understand it is that inside the machine, at the back,fluff falls through a space which has been manufactured too big and it lands on heating element and so causes fire. You cannot reach that area as its enclosed within the machine itself. Best not to leave them running when you are not around.

                  Saw it on the news,ours has been sorted,but how can they be trusted,could part off the problem be,that some peeps do not clean properly,it's made a lot off peeps more wary.

                    Unfortunately lottie the engineer was showing me that it's not really something you can clean yourself as the problem is in the machine itself.

                      Jay son has had ours to bits to put a new belt on,plus several times it's been outside and air lined,maybe it depends on what the model is,we got the hotpoint aquarius,very tinny thing when taken apart,flimsy.

                        Ours is the Aqualtis lottie...engineer took back off and replaced internal panel. I'm playing safe anyway and it's only going on when we are here and only during the day!

                              We had ours fixed a few months back, didn't take long, but we still won't trust it on it's own.
