This is because the issue is associated with the washing machine’s heating element being activated during wash cycles above 20C. To be on the safe side, the only way to remove the risk completely is not to use the machine. Whirlpool is now re-contacting all customers who have registered an affected model under the recall. Similarly, it says Whirlpool should also cover reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses caused by the recall, such as launderette bills.
