CPSC, Maytag Corp. Announce Recall of Jenn-Air Gas Cooktops
05050 · Recalled 2004-11-17 · CPSC page
Description
The recall includes built-in Jenn-Air model JGD8348CDP downdraft gas cooktops. They have serial numbers xxxxxxxEA through xxxxxxxER. The cooktops were manufactured by Maytag between January 1, 2004 and September 17, 2004. The model name and serial number are printed on a label on the vent fan housing, which is visible in the cabinet under the cooktop.
Hazards
The recalled cooktops have switches located too close to the gas tubing leading to the grill burner. Electrical arcing can cause the tubing to leak gas and ignite, resulting in a fire hazard to consumers.
Reported injuries
Maytag has received four reports of cooktops catching fire during use as a result of a gas leak. There have been no reports of injuries.
Remedy
Customers who have purchased one of these recalled cooktops should contact Maytag to schedule a free, in-home repair. Consumers should stop using the grill or burners activated by the two left hand controls until the repair is completed. The center and right hand burners can be used.
