LG is recalling Goldstar and Comfort-Aire dehumidifiers that can cause fires or burns due to a faulty power connector. This affects units sold at Home Depot, Walmart, and other retailers. Consumers should stop using these dehumidifiers immediately to avoid potential fire or injury.
The power connector for the dehumidifier's compressor can short circuit, leading to electrical fires or burns. This occurs when the connector becomes damaged or exposed, especially during normal use like unplugging or moving the unit.
Homeowners with Goldstar or Comfort-Aire 30-pint dehumidifiers purchased between 2019 and 2022 are affected. Those using the dehumidifiers near flammable materials or in unattended locations face higher fire risk.
Look for white dehumidifiers with a red shut-off button, fan speed controls, and a front-loading water bucket. The brand name 'Goldstar' or 'Comfort-Aire' is printed on the front. Check the model and serial numbers on the interior when the water bucket is removed.
Unplug the dehumidifier and stop using it to prevent fire or burn hazards.
