Electrolux recalls Sears Kenmore Elite dual fuel ranges with gas cooktops due to fire and burn risks from gas escaping when burner flame goes out. Affected models include 790.42603xxx and 790.42613xxx with specific serial numbers.
The burner flame can go out while the gas is turned on. This can allow gas to escape and poses fire and burn hazards.

The burner flame can go out while gas is still on, causing gas to escape. This creates a fire hazard if the gas accumulates and ignites, or a burn hazard if someone is near the escaping gas.
