Haier America is recalling approximately 137,000 top-mount refrigerators because an internal electrical component can short circuit. This defect can lead to smoking, fires, and property damage, with three such incidents already reported. The recalled units are 10.1 cubic foot models measuring about five feet high and two feet wide, sold in black, stainless steel, and white finishes. These appliances were sold at Lowe's and other retailers nationwide between September 2014 and September 2018. Consumers are advised to stop using these refrigerators immediately to prevent potential fire hazards.
An electrical component inside the refrigerator can short circuit, which may cause the unit to smoke or catch fire. Haier America has received three reports of smoke and fire resulting in property damage.
Consumers should unplug and immediately stop using the recalled refrigerators and visit Haier America's website to schedule a free in-home repair or to receive a refund in the form of a $150 rebate toward the purchase of a qualified new Haier brand refrigerator.
