GE Recalls to Inspect and Repair Wall Ovens Due to Fire and Burn Hazards

Is my product affected?

GE®, GE Profile™, Monogram® and Kenmore® Wall Ovens

  • Brand GE Consumer & Industrial, of Louisville, Ky.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

GE is recalling wall ovens sold under the brand names GE, GE Profile, Monogram, and Kenmore. The ovens can pose a fire and burn hazard if the wall oven door is removed and incorrectly re-attached by an installer or consumer. When incorrectly re-attached, the door will not open into the flat position, which can allow extreme heat from the self-clean cycle to escape.

If you own one of the affected models, you should immediately inspect your oven door to confirm it opens into the flat position. If the door does not open flat, do not use the self-clean cycle and call GE for a free repair. Normal baking and broiling functions can continue to be used until the oven is repaired.

Hazard

The extreme heat used in the self-clean cycle can escape, if the wall oven door is removed and incorrectly re-attached by the installer or the consumer. This can pose a fire and burn hazard to consumers.

What should I do?

Consumers should immediately inspect the oven to make sure they do not have an incorrectly re-attached wall oven door, which will not open into the flat position. If the wall oven door is incorrectly re-attached, consumers should not use the self-clean cycle and call GE for a free repair. Consumers can continue to use normal baking or broiling function in the oven until the oven is repaired.
