Risk
Over the last few weeks Beko has been made aware of a small number of incidents involving our 6kg & 7kg Condenser Tumble Dryers manufactured between May 2012 and October 2012, where an electrical component has failed and overheated, leading to a potential risk of fire.
Beko believes that the risk of failure is low but they have decided to initiate a voluntary corrective action program as a precautionary measure.
These products were independently tested before being placed on the market and meet all UK and European safety standards. Nevertheless, Beko would like to offer a free of charge in-home modification to remove any potential risk with this component.
