	More models have been added to the list of machines which may be more prone to catch fire. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52472954

	Thank you Gwyn. My Hotpoint was one of the OK ones when this problem first showed up but I'd better go and check it again now. EDIT: Just checked and my model isn't one of those affected so should be OK
