Contempo Mate Stack Washer-Dryer Retrofit by Speed Queen
Contempo Mate Stack Washer-Dryer Retrofit by Speed Queen NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 1, 1988 Release # 88-90 Speed Queen Announces A Retrofit Program For Contempo Mate Stack Washer-Dryer Equipped With Caster-Rollers WASHINGTON - Speed Queen Company of Ripon, Wisconsin, is voluntarily offering a retrofit program for its caster-equipped Contempo Stack combination washer-dryer to eliminate the possibility that consumers could receive a hand or foot-injury from the appliance when operating. Speed Queen will supply all consumers with a permanent guard to install at the base of the Contempo Mate washer-dryer, which are equipped with caster-rollers. Casters permit consumers to roll the appliance to the water and drain source for clothes washing, and then to return the unit to another area for convenient storage. Speed Queen said the casters elevate the appliance high enough off the floor to allow children to contact some of the washer's moving parts. Consumers having the Speed Queen Contempo Mate stack washer-dryer with casters should call Speed Queen toll-free at 1-800-543-3462 to obtain the free guard kit, obtain help in installing the guard, or for other information about the retrofit program.

Match it to your own unit
CPSC search works at brand level, so a result above may cover a product line you do not own. Find the nameplate on your appliance and compare the model number against the notice before you act on it. On a dishwasher or washer the plate sits inside the door frame; on a refrigerator it is usually behind the kick plate or inside the door.
