From Telegraph UK
The Grenfell tower fire which claimed more than 78 lives was attributed to to a faulty freezer fridge be the main cause of the fire. Its brand is Hotpoint, part of the Whirlpool group. This is not the first time that appliance from said group to be the cause of fire. One fire in 2016 which gutted an 18 story block was attributed to one of the dryers it made.
Those who own such fridge freezer made between 2006 to 2009 Model FF175BP may have their fridge inspected (and could be subject of a huge recall) for safety purposes
The cause of the fault are the faulty capacitors (those that store electrical charge for the motor start)
A significant number of fires which start in fridges and freezers start in components called capacitors. When capacitors are used in fridges and freezers it should be done in a way that prevents them starting fires, even if they do fail."
