Owners of Elba EBD 602S tumble dryers should stop using them if possible, Singapore’s Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) said on Tuesday (10 November 2026). The office received reports of six fires in Singapore involving the model over the previous five months.
The CPSO, which is part of the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore, said the dryers appear to carry a higher fire risk. It is still investigating what caused the fires and said it would issue an update when the investigation concludes.
How to Check Your Dryer
Look for the Elba brand and the model number EBD 602S on the product label. Singapore retailers no longer sell the model, and the advisory covers every EBD 602S unit.
If you continue to use the dryer, the CPSO advises you to follow the user manual and stay with the machine while it runs. Owners with safety questions can contact the Consumer Product Safety Office.
