The product, in the report: 2006 White-Westinghouse heavy duty clothes dryer model WGR211ES0,. White color
My White-Westinghouse ball-hitch clothes dryer caught on fire yesterday. It has had a qualified person install it. It is property maintained and the lint filter is routinely cleaned. It is a model included in the class action and [REDACTED]insurance lawsuits against Electrolux. Lint gathers under the drum and is close enough to the heat source to ignite. The user can not clean it out and I just became aware that it is a common issue.
