GE Recalls Dishwashers Due to Fire Hazard

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

Recalled product: GE Recalls Dishwashers Due to Fire Hazard

The hazard

Water condensation can drip onto the electronic control board, causing a short circuit and resulting in an overheated connector. This poses a fire hazard to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers, disconnect the electric supply by shutting off the fuse or circuit breaker controlling it and inform all users of the dishwasher about the risk of fire. Contact GE for a free in-home repair or to receive a GE rebate of $200 for the purchase of a new GE Profile dishwasher and a GE rebate of $400 for purchase of a new GE Monogram dishwasher.
