Electrolux Recalls Kenmore Elite Ranges Due to Fire and Burn Hazards; Sold Exclusively at Sears

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Electrolux is recalling approximately 250 Kenmore Elite stainless steel slide-in ranges with gas cooktops and electric ovens. On these specific units, the burner flame can unexpectedly go out while the gas remains turned on, allowing gas to escape into the home. These ranges were sold exclusively at Sears stores nationwide between June 2014 and October 2014 for between $3,200 and $3,700. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ranges and contact Sears for a free inspection and repair.

Risk

If the burner flame goes out while the gas valve is open, gas can accumulate in the kitchen, creating a significant risk of fire and serious burn injuries to consumers. While no injuries have been reported yet, the escape of unburned gas is a high-risk defect.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Kenmore Elite dual fuel ranges until they have been inspected and repaired.
  2. Check the model and serial numbers located on the inside frame of the range door on the left side to see if your unit is affected.
  3. Verify if your range is model 790.42603xxx with a serial number between AF42500601 and AF43000916.
  4. Verify if your range is model 790.42613xxx with a serial number between AF42500541 and AF43103647.
  5. Look for the 'Kenmore Elite' branding printed on the front of the oven door to confirm the brand.
  6. If your range is included in the recall, contact Transform (for Kenmore brand products) toll-free at 800-659-7026 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, to schedule a free inspection and repair.
