Samsung is recalling approximately 1,120,905 slide-in electric ranges because the front-mounted knobs can be accidentally activated by people or pets, posing a significant fire hazard. The recall involves 30 different model numbers sold nationwide between May 2013 and August 2024 at retailers including Best Buy, Costco, and The Home Depot. Samsung is offering a free remedy to provide knob locks or covers to prevent unintended use.
The range knobs can be turned on by accidental contact, which has led to over 300 reports of unintentional activation, approximately 250 fires, and 40 human injuries. Seven fires have resulted in pet deaths, and at least 18 fires caused extensive property damage when objects were left on the cooktop.
Consumers should contact Samsung to receive a free set of knob locks or covers compatible with their model of electric slide-in range to install. Consumers using the recalled ranges without knob locks or covers are cautioned to keep children and pets away from the knobs, to check the range knobs to ensure they are off before leaving the home or going to bed, and to not leave objects on the range when the range is not in use. Consumers with Wi-Fi enabled ranges can enable the "Cooktop On" notification on the Samsung SmartThings app to receive alerts on their smartphone when a cooktop burner is turned on.
The model number is located on the inside upper left corner of the oven door or inside the bottom storage bin.
