Incredibly, that link does not work!

And the lady on the advertised recall info phone line couldn't help either - no idea which model / serial numbers were affected! She said to try again on the website later.

Whirlpool excelling at making amends for these faulty machines...

Website seems to be working now, albeit the process froze on me several times and I had to go back round again and again to complete the registration.

Page won't load at all now. Getting unsafe security message. Looks like a right !!!! up.

My machine model number is on the list, and when the recall website started working again this afternoon, I typed in my details. When I then entered my serial number, it announced that my machine was unaffected. I took a screen shot, and thank goodness I did, as the promised confirmatory email has not arrived. Just a warning - take a screen shot.
