Whaleofatime's review of Beko DRCS68W

“Dryer blew up”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Whaleofatime on 25/01/2015

Had this dryer for approx three years. It has been used at most once every 2 weeks during the winter months only and mostly it's been used to dry off clothes which have been dried on a washing line or on a radiator. I had it on the last week for this exact purpose and after it had been on for about 20 minutes I heard loud sparking and banging noises, followed by a burning smell. I ran in to the kitchen to hear the sparking noises getting louder and louder then there was an almighty bang and I saw the lid of the dryer physically lifting from the body of the dryer. It blew the main electic fuse box. I rang customer services to see if there was a fault on this model, only to be told it was perfectly safe!! I have now ordered a new dryer from an different manufacturer and have removed the lid from the old one to see what damage has been done. I was horrified to find the main electrical input wires and the connector block completely black and burnt, black smoke marks on the underside of the lid and small pieces of black carbon all over the inside of the dryer. I would never buy another Beko product again.
