Viking dishwashers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Viking Range is recalling certain 24-inch dishwashers manufactured between May and September 2010 because an electrical component can overheat and pose a fire hazard. The recall affects Viking 24" Professional, Designer and Custom Panel dishwashers with model numbers starting with DDB325, DFB450, VDB325, or VDB450 (excluding those ending in "E"), sold in various colors and finishes. You can identify if your dishwasher is affected by checking the identification plate on the inside left side of the dishwasher door opening—the first six digits of the serial number show the manufacture date in mmddyy format, and your dishwasher is recalled if these digits fall between 052610 (May 26, 2010) and 091510 (September 15, 2010).
According to the recall notice, consumers with affected dishwashers should immediately stop using them and contact Viking's hotline for a free in-home repair.
