Approximately 1.3 million GE, GE Adora, GE Eterna, GE Profile, and Hotpoint brand dishwashers are being recalled because of a defect in the heating element that can lead to fires. GE has received 15 reports of heating element failures, including seven fires, three of which resulted in extensive property damage. These units were sold nationwide from March 2006 through August 2009 in various colors and finishes including black, white, bisque, stainless steel, and CleanSteel™. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers and disconnect the power supply to prevent fire risk.
An electrical failure in the dishwasher's heating element can cause the unit to catch fire, posing a significant risk of property damage and personal injury.
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. For all dishwashers, contact GE for a free in-home repair or to receive a GE rebate of $75 towards the purchase of a new GE front-control plastic tub dishwasher, or a rebate of $100 towards the purchase of a new GE front-control stainless tub dishwasher or GE Profile top control dishwasher. Consumers should not return the recalled dishwashers to the retailer where they purchased as retailers are not prepared to take the units back.
