Martyn Allen, Technical Director of Electrical Safety First, welcomed the list of units but said it should have come earlier. He said: "We welcome Whirlpool's commitment today to finally publish this list, however, we believe this should have been done sooner. "Regarding the modification process, we now understand Whirlpool has committed to replacing all machines affected by this fault that are yet to be modified. "The Charity would encourage consumers who have not had their machines modified take that opportunity and request a replacement dryer. "Consumers concerned about machines that have undergone a modification process are urged to contact Whirlpool directly."
