You might remember the Haier produced tumble dryer fire risk recall a few months back and how it all went a bit wrong with users being told to stop using them after they were modified, well, now it seems Haier is set to re-repair them.
The news article from the government website is as foolows that explains it all really:
Haier to restart heat pump tumble dryer safety repair programme
OPSS has confirmed that Haier can begin an updated corrective action programme to address a fire safety risk that may not have been fixed by an earlier repair.
Electrical manufacturer Haier is to restart its programme of corrective action for integrated heat pump tumble dryers. From early September, Haier will contact customers whose machines had previously been repaired to arrange a new safety modification.
OPSS told Haier to halt its initial repair programme because of concerns the modification was still unsafe. Following a review of Haier’s updated modification by OPSS, the company has been informed it can resume its programme and begin contacting consumers once again.
Affected brands include Candy, Baumatic, Caple, Haier, Hoover, Lamona, Iberna and Montpellier.
OPSS published Product Safety Reports in May 2025 warning consumers of the risk of fire in certain models and recommending affected consumers seek a repair from the company.
