Defective tumble dryers - is yours one of them?

There's a lot of publicity at the moment saying that a million people may still have tumble dryers that are fire risks. More than 100 Creda, Hotpoint, Indesit, Proline and Swan tumble dryer models (all brands owned by Whirlpool) made between April 2004 and October 2015 could pose a fire risk.

But how do you tell whether yours is one of them? There's an easy way:

• Which? magazine has a web page that lists the models affected
• The web pages safety.hotpoint.eu and safety.indesit.eu allow you to check both model and serial number

If you are affected, the Which? page tells you what you need to do.
