The Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading is making the public aware of an important notice issued by Whirlpool in relation to specific models of Hotpoint and Indesit washing machines manufactured between October 2014 and February 2018.

Owners of Hotpoint and Indesit washing machines bought since October 2014 will need to find the model and serial number of their appliance. - found inside the door or on the back of the machine. 

 

Owners should then visit https://washingmachinerecall.whirlpool.co.uk to find out whether their washing machine is affected and, if so, register for a replacement or repair. 

 

Alternatively, there is a free Whirlpool helpline that you can call on 0800 316 1442. 

 

The Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading say consumers with an affected machine should stop using it immediately, unplug it and register with Whirlpool for a replacement machine or repair.
