Surely other countries have the same model of dangerous Whirlpool dryers?
- hedora 7y agoOther countries are surely impacted, and probably under other brand names. We’ve had more than our fair share of whirlpool and Frigidaire appliances under various brand names over the years. They’re mostly (universally?) awful, though some of the planned obsolescence mechanisms are ingenious. Note they think that 90% of the ones sold have already died and been thrown out for some other reason. I’d bet these fires are an intentionally sabotaged mechanism triggering an otherwise minor fault. Anyway, here is a list of North American brands presumably affected by this recall, since they all come from the same upper management chain: Admiral (Canada) Chambers Coovert (ac's) Crosley (top-load/current front-load washers) Dacor ( 13 ) Danby ( 8 ) Estate Inglis Ikea Kenmore ( see Sears ) KitchenAid ( 4 ) Kirkland Maytag Epic® Roper Speed Queen (Canada only) Sub Zero (undercounter ice makers) Whirlpool Also, this site lists who makes which brand in the US: http://www.appliance411.com/purchase/make.shtml http://www.appliance411.com/purchase/make.shtml
