CPSC, W.C. Wood Company Inc. Announce Recall of Upright Freezers and Single Door Refrigerators
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The defrost heater coil can become exposed inside the units, which poses a potential shock hazard to consumers. In some cases, the exposed heater wire can also melt, or burn the unit's interior plastic food liner.
What to do
Consumers should contact Whirlpool to arrange for a free in-home repair for Amana, Maytag or Whirlpool freezers. There is no remedy available for unrepaired Crosley, Danby and Wood's freezers. Unplug and discontinue use of unrepaired units.
