Hello
Thank you for this post. I am worried as my cosin brother has a hotpoint wmd940 k (black). He has a daughter who has just learnt how to walk and is intrigued by the washing machine. I've seen that the model is mentioned in the 2nd link. This is bizzare, unsafem glad the family were safe and unharmed in link 1. What should I do? Thanks |

What is interesting to me is that the front plastic housing looks split but no pieces missing. So what exactly went flying to cause such described damage? |

I think that the machine that exploded could have been a one off, what do we know. The person may have put a duvet in a normal machine, just saying.
I got a reply and they said nothing to worry about, it goeas as follows "We can assure you that all of our appliances do comply with, and in manycases exceed, all Domestic and European legislation on design andsafety. All our products are independently tested to ensure that theycomply with all current regulations before they are allowed onto themarket place. We carry out continual monitoring of the performance of our products anddo introduce modifications if it is felt that the performance of theappliance could be enhanced. We would seek to reassure you that the design of the WMD940 series hasnot given any cause for concern. We do not consider that we have anunusually high failure rate given the number of appliances that havebeen produced and are currently installed in homes throughout the UK. We are unable to comment on anecdotal remarks made by third parties inrespect of our products. However, if you feel that the machine is notworking to specification, our call booking service can be contacted on08448 224224 to arrange an engineer" Thanks Take care |
