Maytag, Jenn-Air Dishwashers Recalled
Maytag is recalling about 2.3 million Maytag and Jenn-Air brand dishwashers because of a fire hazard.Liquid rinse-aid can leak from its dispenser and come into contact with the dishwasher's internal wiring which can short-circuit and ignite, posing a fire hazard, the company said.
Maytag has received 135 reports of dishwasher fires, resulting in product and/or property damage. Four injuries have been reported, including three reports of smoke inhalation and one serious hand laceration when operating a fire extinguisher to put out a fire in the dishwasher.
Consumers should contact Maytag to determine if their dishwasher is included in this recall.
The units were sold by department and appliance stores and by homebuilders nationwide from July 1997 through June 2001 for between $370 and $800.
After this news of dishwasher fires will bathtub fires be next?
