Thanks for that Andy

Just got mine, manufactured in 2016, serial number fits... time to buy a standby AVI I guess

I just filled in the form to send my 2015 one back too. It's been replaced in my bag by a Martindale now, but always good to have a backup.

I'm just eyeing up the Drummond MTL20. Far more basic but looks like it might be somewhat indestructible

Thanks for that Andy, very useful. I have submitted the form to send mine back for a replacement. Not used it a huge amount, but still...you would think they would have worked out that flexes get flexed, and made them robust enough for daily wear and tear...not exactly a cheap product to buy, of its type.
Also, in this era of the internet, and given I registered it with Fluke for the extra warranty, why did I not get an email from them about the recall. Surely it can't be difficult to interrogate their database and send an email to anyone affected?
On that point, I had a fault with a relatively new tumble drier, under warranty, and on contacting them was told that quite apart from the fault I had, that model had been on a recall for a more serious fire-
safety issue for over a year!
I watched the engineer doing the 2 repairs...having seen how apalling the build-quality is I would never leave the house while it is on...it's absolutely the cheapest build you could get, the heater is a bit of board with some wire wound round it, screwed to a bracket beside the drum...
However, it does work very well!

Which brand was it?

 

[pirate]

Hotpoint, aptly enough...

 

[Andy78]

Could Admin make the recall link a sticky for a short while please ? Fluke are a major brand that many will own, the range of defective items is large, and the potential danger is of a serious nature.

[SparkyChick]

I'll post a sticky somewhere

 

[SparkyChick]

Well, I've finally received my label email (10 days after I registered for the recall).

My replacement will apparently be arriving 1 to 2 weeks from the date when UPS pick up the package.

 

[Andy78]

Yep, got my recall ticket today too.

 

[pirate]

Got mine too...10 days or more after I registered.
MInd you, I've been 3 days without electricity here, so only just got online again...

How can you be sure your power was off if your voltage indicator is not working?
