Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160908-EF0D9-2147414367. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Bosch 300 series. Source model text: N Series WTMC5321US/06 FD8808 300725. Incident: My Bosch dryer just caught on fire and it was not in the vent it was in the back of the drum inside the dryer. It looks as if debris built up behind the drum liner. A warning should be posted. If I was not sitting a few feet away and just happen to hear a strange beep come from the dryer, it could have caught the house on fire.
