Beko Washing Machine

I have just ordered a new Beko integrated Washing Machine and my friend has just informed me that they have a problem with catching fire!!!!
Is this true?
I know about all the problems with different driyers etc and have a feeling there was something about Beko Washers a while ago.
Has anyone got any info to set my mind at rest?o

    From the Beko recall page:
    Product Safety Notices
    Frost-free Fridge Freezers manufactured from 2000 to 2006

    6kg and 7kg condenser Tumble Dryers manufactured from May-October 2012

    Gas Cookers manufactured before 2009

    If you have a Beko Dishwasher, Washing Machine or Built In appliance you are not affected.

    See link below, it seems your friend is not correct with washing machines but you are about dryers {also FF frezzers and Gas cookers before 2009}

    Thank-you both very much for that.
    You have set my mind at rest that they are safe.
    The washer has really good reviews and it took me ages to choose one

    I think the thing is, you've seen stories in the press about Beko, and think it's the whole range. I was looking for a new FF over the weekend and never even glanced at the Beko ones, just because i had this idea that it would be rubbish.

    My Beko washing machine, condensing tumble dryer and dishwasher are all working well without any signs of getting too hot. :)
