    The Hotpoint FF175BP has been confirmed as the source of the fire at Grenfell Tower blaze.

    So if you have a Hotpoint fridge freezer check the model number now, apparantly it is not the first one to exploded & catch fire, & it was the only model THAT has not been recalled because of the fire risk with other models.

    People who believe they own a Hotpoint fridge freezer model number FF175BP (white) or FF175BG (grey) can call Whirlpool Corporation's freephone hotline on 0800 316 3826.
     
  3. On the plus side, they are really cheap to buy now.

    I've got one of those and to be honest its a useless pile of **** like all things hotpoint. I can't remember the fault but there is some common fault with the defrost heater.

    Gave up on Hotpoint years ago and moved to Bosch 100% for kitchen appliances, no regrets whatsoever. :)

    That's an even more sickly attempt at humour.

    This WAS meant to be a serious thread.

    To be fair I believe DA was referring to the cr4p fridge rather than the recent tragedy.

    I'm also all Bosch appliances,& one advantage with most Bosch fridge freezers they have twin compressors, one each for fridge & freezer, easier to maintain independent temperature in each part,safer & less work for the compressors than a single compressor controlling the whole appliance.
     
  17. Yes they were.

    You chuckled - I know you did.

    So you'd be the one that approached one of the Grenfell disaster that lost all his family and asks if he wants a fridge! A Hotpoint one! Keep ya warm, you know!

    Were you the head teacher that sent the Grenfell kids home from school because they weren't wearing uniform recently?
