Whirlpool washing machine
This lunchtime.
RTÉ reports:
Whirlpool is recalling 11,000 Hotpoint and Indesit washing machines because of fire safety risks.
The machines were manufactured between between October 2014 and February 2018.
The company said the recall does not affect Whirlpool branded washing machines.
It said that as many as 519,000 washing machines in the UK could be affected.
Whirlpool has identified a flaw with the door-locking system that could lead to the machines overheating and potentially catching fire.
Customers should visit here or call 0818 903 281 to check if their appliance is affected.

Consider this moving shape created by game developer and artist Frank Force: winner of the 2019 contest for Best Illusion Of The Year.
Does it rotate around the vertical axis or the horizontal axis? Is it spinning clockwise or anticlockwise? What do you think?
No, you’re wrong. The answer, of course, is witchcraft. And that is why Frank must be burned at the stake without delay.
