Drag your skiffle board out again, Dermot. They may be becoming fashionable once more. :-D

Thank you Gwyn. My Hotpoint was one of the OK ones when this problem first showed up but I'd better go and check it again now.

EDIT: Just checked and my model isn't one of those affected so should be OK

More models have been added to the list of machines which may be more prone to catch fire.
