Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and GE Consumer & Industrial of Louisville, Kentucky announce the recall of General Electric Built-in Dishwashers.

Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Whirlpool Corporation of Benton Harbor, Michigan announce recall of Whirlpool® and Kenmore® brand dishwashers.

Hazard: An electrical defect within the dishwashers’ wash motor wiring poses a risk of the motor overheating and possibly catching fire.

The dishwashers come with black, white, biscuit, or stainless front panels. They have the following model and serial numbers located inside the tub on a tag near the left side of the door opening:

Remedy: Consumers with one of these dishwashers should immediately stop using it, disconnect the electric supply by shutting off the fuse or circuit breaker controlling it, and inform all users of the dishwasher not to use it due to the risk of fire. Call Whirlpool Corporation to schedule a free, in-home repair. Please have the serial number and model number of the dishwasher available for the call. Please do not return the dishwasher to the retailer where it was purchased, as retailers are not prepared to take them back.
