Firefighters are reminding people to register their white goods after a flat fire on Graham Road in Hackney.
Most of a three-roomed flat on the third floor above a shop was damaged by fire. There were no reports of any injuries.
The fire is believed to have been accidental and involved a fridge.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “If your white goods start making a strange noise, don’t ignore it. If you think there’s a problem always unplug it and contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair technician.
"Most fires where white goods are the source of ignition are not down to anything you have done – so always make sure you register your appliances as you’ll be informed if any issues are identified with the product you’ve bought."
The Brigade was called at 2035 and the fire was under control by 2200. Fire crews from Homerton, Bethnal Green, Stoke Newington, Islington and Leytonstone fire stations attended the scene.
