Hazards

These ranges have a design flaw that can cause an electrical arc between the wiring and griddle gas supply tube, posing a fire hazard.

Reported injuries

GE has received reports of six incidents of gas leaking from the griddle gas supply tube, resulting in five fires under the range top. One consumer has reported burns to her hands and two consumers have reported smoke damage.

Remedy

Customers with a recalled range should stop using it immediately and contact GE for further instructions and to schedule a free, in-home repair.
