You Saw It: 1.3 Million GE Dishwashers Recalled

Posted: Updated:

More than a million GE dishwashers will be recalled because of possible fire hazard.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recall includes about 1.3 million GE, GE Adora, GE Eterna, GE Profile and Hotpoint dishwashers.

The heating elements can fail and cause fires.

Seven fires have been reported but no injuries.

The dishwashers were sold around the U.S. from March 2006 through August 2009.

The government is telling people they should stop using the dishwashers and immediately disconnect them. Do not return the dishwashers to the store where they were purchased but to contact GE and they will provide free repairs or rebates.
