CPSC, General Electric Announce Recall of Gas Ranges Posing Fire Hazard

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

These ranges were manufactured with a design flaw that can cause an electrical arc between the wiring and adjacent gas supply tubes at two locations in the control housing of the range, posing a fire hazard.

What to do

Customers who have purchased one of these recalled ranges should contact GE to schedule a free, in-home repair. Until the repair is completed, consumers should stop using the griddle on the 36-inch and 48-inch models, and the left front burner on the 48-inch models. The large oven and all other burners can be used.
