What happened

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and GE have announced a recall of certain built-in dishwashers due to a connector that can short-circuit and overheat during normal use, creating a fire hazard. The recalled models are GE dishwashers GSD5500G, GSD5560G, GSD5800G, GSD5900G, GSD5960G, EDW3000G, and EDW3060G sold after January 20, 2004, but only those with specific serial numbers: those beginning with letters A through T followed by G in the second position, or serial letters VF. The model and serial number can be found inside the door wall of the dishwasher.

Consumers with affected dishwashers should immediately stop using them and contact GE to arrange for a free repair. The source does not specify additional details about how to contact GE or what timeline consumers should expect for repairs.
