Viking Range is expanding a previous recall to include about 17,300 additional Professional, Designer, and Custom Panel dishwashers because an internal electrical component can overheat. The company has received 136 additional reports of overheating connectors, including 21 reports of fires that caused property damage. These 24-inch wide dishwashers were sold in various colors and finishes, including stainless steel and wood panels, between July 2008 and March 2012. Viking is providing a free in-home repair for all affected units.
The dishwasher's electrical connectors can overheat during use, which creates a significant risk of fire that can spread to the rest of the kitchen. While no injuries have been reported, there have been 21 documented cases of fires resulting in property damage.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers and contact Viking for a free in-home repair.
