We've seen these pictures before - someone else posted them earlier in the year. Still a shocking state of affairs. Something about a faulty drum weld as I recall. What is the latest news as of now? Interesting to see inside the machines, albeit in their mangled state! | ||

@SuperElectronic Ofcourse there are no recent news about this.. Maybe nobody would know about it if it didn"t happend at Stiftung warenttest laboratory.. And don"t worry about your paren"ts OPH616 --- it"s not affected aswell as 100000"s Candy/Hoover washers. | ||

Indesit/Hotpoint are apparently fitting securing braces to thier models that are at risk, this is supposed to fix the issue (that remains to be seen). What are Candy doing with their models that are at risk? | ||

Candy made a warning on their website, and anyone with Candy machine can call to check (even they know it"s only few affected machines). Checkup is compleatly free. But I think they stopped doing that, since probobly no case was reported, and months passed... | ||

That's good, as far as I know Indesit only released information on their affected models via a tech bulletin that was then leaked. CLICK HERE TO GO TO solsburian's LINK | ||

Coincidentally, Hotpoint have recently transitioned from using a screwed drum to the standard Indesit welded drum. | ||

Lol I know all about washing machines, except their built (well, I am rating it by experience). So I think this is a very basic question, but what is screwed, and what is welded drum? :P | ||

@nrones: My mistake, I'm getting my terms mixed up, I believe the terms screw and welded refer to how the outer tub is assembled. The older Hotpoint drums have a different drum seam to the Candy and Indesit drums. I’m assuming that the seams could be a weak part in the drum and that could be what’s causing these problems. | ||

Just for a comparison, here is the drum seam from my parents Hotpoint WF541 that has the recently phased out Hotpoint drum:

... and here is a pic of our Hoover's drum seam that will have the same kind of seam on the Hoover/Candy machines that exploded. I checked today and the Indesit drum now fitted to Hotpoints also has this kind of seam:
