‘I Lost My Family In a Tumble Dryer Fire’ | This Morning

[@irumhussain8352]

So I called a guy out due to my Hotpoint fridge not working, whilst walking past the tumble dryer he noticed it and told me that it had been recalled by Hotpoint due to it being faulty, he unplugged it luckily and they sent me a new one. If I had never called him out about the FRIDGE I wouldn’t even have known this, no one had bothered to get in touch with me I had it for so many years! Please get your tumble dryer checked!

I thank her for naming the brand. May his grandmother and uncle RIP

[@Soph-dl7fi]

This has opened my eyes I normally put my tumbler on and go out so I can come back and fold the washing I won’t be doing that again

[@HUYI1]

But if you stay there and keep an eye on it, it will be a risk to yourself? Being away from it would be a safer option for this situation

[@aurora6920]

@@HUYI1 although you are then putting your house and neighbours at risk who could be asleep. Just make sure you have a fire exit and be aware the tumble dryer is on, this way if you smell smoke you can evacuate and alert the emergency services and your neighbours so they can get out.

[@shoozu]

If you're home to witness it, you could get out and phone the fire brigade? Rather than coming home to your house burnt down and the neighbours house burnt down too @@HUYI1?

Bless him! What an event to go through!! We've got a Hotpoint dryer!! When any business or person tries to get out of something, people tend to lose trust. Transparency and accountability are always respected because they show they'll make an effort to fix something.. the opposite leads to loss of trust. Which we're all aware... is very difficult to fix and repair. That fire lady gave great advice🫶

[@ThetreeOflife-b8r]

Thank you for covering this sad story I won't be leaving my dryer on whilst going out my sincere condolences to this young man thank you for bringing this to light 🤝🫶🫂

[@CatsandJP]

I never leave anything thing with a heating element on if I’m not close by..I clean the lint filter on both the dryer and washing machine every time I use them regardless…. I also have the heat setting on the dryer at a lower setting and I only use a cold wash as well…I won’t even leave my iPhone or iPad on charge overnight….I also shutdown my laptop….because they have lithium batteries especially after seeing electric scooters and bikes catching fire.

Sorry for your loss 😢

Condolences 😢

[@HUYI1]

It's never the manufacturers fault, it's always the consumer this is why if you pursue something like this you need a solicitor, i hope the lad succeeds for his family sake

[@AbigailBrown-wk7xl]

So tragic. I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you ❤❤

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

I would never leave my drier on without being there. Very tragic story 🙁

[@salyol7]

Most do.I live in an apt building I don't use it.

[@laurah6694]

This is so scary. I’m too nervous to use my tumble dryer now 😕

[@mahaali4841]

I am sure I’m always home and awake. When I use the tumble dryer, I make sure I’m not far I try to stay on the ground floor.

[@davidbrian1556]

My dryer caught fire mid cycle luckily we were in and I dragged it out the back door within 5 minutes it was a ball of fire

[@cafsixtieslover]

Mine lives in my garage but I don't think I will ever use it again even if I am home.

[@GeraldineShart]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Dry high angels ❤️

Hope he finds them 🙏

[@Pazymaspaz]

I've only just discovered this UK programme and there's been some very interesting items on it but the female presenter is so annoying!

[@shoozu]

Maybe you just don't like women.

[@ukpk12]

Are you for real? You need to get your head checked out. What a complete sad individual.

[@catpuccino6186]

U R not very good at being an armchair detective.

[@markfox2043]

​@ukpk12 1min 44 seconds, why would he smile about an event that happened, whilst another event was happening that was tragic. Paradoxical laughter, Relieve tension. Signals cognitive strain, Humour unwarranted by situation..

[@markfox2043]

​@@catpuccino6186 Paradoxical laughter, wasn't a laugh but certainly was a smile, at 1 minute 44,dont understand why he would smile, reflecting bk on a tragic event.

[@cassandratarotspells369]

When my dryer broke down, I opened it up and saw how much lint was in there. The cables are not encase, and the lint was all over the inside of the dryer. Now I have a new dryer, it’s behind a fireproof door and with a smoke detector. I will also get extinguishers 🧯
