The product, in the report: combination washer/dryer (in a single machine)
The caller filed the report on behalf of the tenant.
4/5/2022: 9:20pm-- The tenant was using the dryer when, when they noticed a pungent odor and saw smoke emitting from the bathroom. As they stepped in the room, the dryer was emitting an extensive amount of smoke, so, they immediately called the fire department. The local fire department arrived and took the dryer outside. The heat was substantial enough to melt the dryer fan.
The smoke alarm activated within 20 seconds after the consumer noticed the odor. There was smoke damage to the home, but no burn damage to any parts of the home.
The washer/dryer, was purchased approximately 5 years ago.
