\"It is not possible to determine the nature of the defect that caused the fire.
\"She sucked in the deadly levels of carbon monoxide from the fire that started in the Beko tumble dryer purchased in 2012.
\"The deceased may have died early after turning off the tumble dryer and washing machine to go to bed.
\"Beko has received 20 reports of spontaneous fires before.

\"I don\'t miss her for a day.
Since her death, there has been a gap in my life that can never be filled.
\"She is everything you hope for in your mother;
Kindness, generosity, love.
\"We are very close and she does everything she can to make her family happy.
\"For my kids Chloe and Callum, she\'s a smart man.
They were sad when she left.
\"The most difficult thing is that I didn\'t tell her how much I loved her.
\"I always say to her that she is my fighter because she will stand up for us forever, but I just hope I can say goodbye with my last hug.
\"She is my warrior, my hero, my mother, and I will miss her forever.
\"It was a tragic case to see a mother and grandmother being taken early from her loved ones,\" added Judy\'s lawyer, Paul Tabner . \".
\"The Death of Mishell has dealt a heavy blow to her family and they need answers from the manufacturer of the tumble dryer, where the fire that caused her death has begun.
\"Only then can they continue their lives.
\"An investigation found evidence of a fire in or around the area where the dryer printed circuit board is located (PCB)was.
Beko, the dryer\'s manufacturer, said the PCB was never found to be any of the 20 previous fires in the 8 kg DCS 85W model.
Andrew Mullen, quality control manager at Beko in the UK and Ireland, said the dryer has sold 35,000 units in the UK and Ireland, in addition, it complies with European safety standards and general fire safety regulations in the UK.
He added that the model was discontinued last year \"as part of the range change.
He revealed that two smaller 6 kg and 7 kg models were recalled \"within the first three months\" due to 100 reported capacitor failures \".
When asked what failure caused the first 20 fires, he said: \"In fact, in all cases, it was caused by running the capacitor --
I can\'t think of anything like this.
In a statement after the case, Mullen said: \"It was a tragic accident and we extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to relatives and friends of the Moloni family.
\"Safety is our top priority and we express our sincere regret for any incident related to our products.
\"Throughout the investigation, we worked closely with all the relevant authorities in an attempt to identify the cause of the fire in Moloni\'s MS property.
\"Despite the investigation by two of the most respected forensic companies in the UK, there is no solid evidence of why Moloney\'s MS tumble dryer is on fire.
\"Fire investigation officer James MacDonald of the West Midlands Fire Department told the coroner Moloney that she would lie in bed when she was shrouded in smoke.
He testified: \"She was lying in bed at the time of the fire, and at some point she realized there was a fire and tried to get out.
\"It was a very local little fire in my experience. It (the house)
It\'s cold, no fire, no smoke.
\"It has completely destroyed the tumble dryer and affected other items in the kitchen.
\"A careful inspection of electrical equipment will indicate that the tumble dryer is in a closed position.
\"Mishell may have turned it off when he thought there was a problem, because after careful inspection, the washing machine turned off half of a cycle.
\"It was filled with washing and water.
\"The assumption used at that time was because the washing machine was halfway through, as if there was a problem with the tumble dryer, and she took out the clothes and turned them off. \"It\'s feasible.
