Dishwashers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Maytag is recalling dishwashers from multiple brands including Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, Magic Chef, Performa by Maytag, and Crosley due to a fire hazard caused by electrical failure in the heating element. The recalled dishwashers have plastic tubs and were manufactured with various front panel colors including black, bisque, white, silver, and stainless steel. The recall affects specific model and serial numbers, which can be found on a label inside the plastic tub near the left side of the door opening. Serial numbers either start with NW39 through NW52 or NY01 through NY19, or end with two-letter codes ranging from JC through LX.
Consumers with recalled dishwashers should immediately stop using them and disconnect the electric supply by shutting off the fuse or circuit breaker controlling the unit. They should inform all users about the fire risk and contact Maytag to verify whether their dishwasher is included in the recall. If the dishwasher is confirmed to be recalled, consumers can either schedule a free in-home repair or receive a rebate of $150 or $250 (depending on the new model purchased) when buying certain new Maytag stainless-steel tub dishwashers. Consumers should not return the recalled dishwashers to the retailer where they were purchased.
