Hoover has asked buyers of its New Wave washing machines and driers, made since 1993, to contact them. The electrical appliance manufacturer said that the machines needed a modification to prevent wash liquid leakage which, in a small number of cases, could create a risk of fire.

Customers can contact the company at 01830 1309, Monday to Friday, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
