Electrolux has recalled about 367,500 Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerators because a component in the ice maker, the ice level detector arm, can break and fall into the ice bucket. This recall affects various French Door, Side-by-Side, and Top Freezer models sold in stainless steel, white, and black finishes between April 2020 and March 2022. Electrolux has received 185 reports of these detector arms breaking, including one report of a consumer suffering gum lacerations from plastic fragments in their ice. Consumers should stop using the ice maker and contact Electrolux for a free professional replacement.
The plastic ice level detector arm can break into small pieces and fall into the ice bin, where it may be served in a drink. If a consumer accidentally swallows these sharp plastic fragments, it poses a serious choking hazard and can cause mouth or gum injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerator ice makers, empty the ice bucket and contact Electrolux to schedule a technician to replace the ice maker with one that has a polypropylene ice level detector, free of charge.
