GE recalls certain dishwashers due to fire risk from heating element electrical failure. Consumers must stop using immediately and contact GE for free repair or rebate for new dishwasher.
An electrical failure in the dishwasher's heating element can pose a fire hazard.
GE is recalling several dishwasher models because an electrical failure in the heating element could cause a fire. This affects dishwashers sold with specific model numbers and serial numbers starting with certain sequences. If you own one of these models, you must stop using it immediately to prevent fire risk.
An electrical failure in the heating element can cause a fire hazard. This happens when the dishwasher's heating element malfunctions, potentially leading to a fire if not repaired.
Owners of GE, GE Adora, GE Eterna, GE Profile, or Hotpoint dishwashers with specific model and serial number sequences are affected. People who use these dishwashers daily are at highest risk of fire if the issue is not addressed.
Check for a metallic plate on the left tub wall of the dishwasher when the door is open. Model and serial numbers start with specific sequences listed in the recall notice.
Immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers to prevent fire risk.
Shut off the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the dishwasher's power to eliminate electrical risk.

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.
