Maytag Expands Recall of Refrigerators Due to Fire Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
An electrical failure in the relay, the component that turns on the refrigerator's compressor, can cause overheating and pose a serious fire hazard.
What to do
Consumers should immediately contact Maytag to determine if their refrigerator is included in the recall and if so, to schedule a free in-home repair. Consumers should not return the refrigerator to the retailer where it was purchased.
