GE Appliances, a Haier Company, Recalls Electric Cooktops Due to Burn Hazard
Haier US Appliance Solutions Inc., d/b/a GE Appliances, of Louisville, Kentucky
Hazard
The cooktop's burners can remain on after use, even after being turned to the "off" position, due to misaligned burner knob stems and fractured burner knob components that can exist in units manufactured between July 2022 and September 2022, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately contact GE Appliances to arrange for free installation of a replacement burner knob assembly. When not in use, turn the unit off at the circuit breaker. Do not leave flammable materials or empty cookware on or near the cooktop. In the affected units, the burner can remain on following use even after being turned to the "off" position. In this case, the "On" indicator light will not be illuminated, but the "Hot Cooktop" light corresponding to the burner will remain illuminated until power to the cooktop is turned off at the breaker switch.
Sold at
Major home improvement and appliance stores nationwide, including Best Buy, Lowe's and The Home Depot, from July 2022 through 2023 for between $1,110 and $1,220.
