LG Electronics has recalled approximately 161,000 electric ranges after 80 reports that burners may fail to turn off or heat settings may increase unexpectedly. These stainless steel, black, and white ranges feature a smooth black ceramic glass top and include model numbers LRE30451, LRE30453, LRE30755, LRE30757, and LRE30955ST. They were sold at Best Buy, Home Depot, Sears, and other retailers from January 2006 to June 2010. LG is providing a free in-home repair for all affected units.
The range burners can fail to shut off or may spontaneously increase in temperature during use. This defect creates a significant risk of accidental fires and can cause severe burns to anyone touching the cooktop or using the appliance.
Consumers should immediately contact LG to schedule a free in-home repair. Consumers whose burner heat setting cannot be regulated by using the controls or who experience problems with a cooktop burner remaining on, should immediately stop using the recalled electric range until it is repaired.
