Maytag announced a recall of 2.3
million Maytag and Jenn-Air portable and built in dishwashers.
Maytag says the 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 affected units were shipped between July 1997 through June
2001. See table for model and serial numbers.
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.
The recall involves Maytag and Jenn-Air under counter or
portable plastic tub dishwashers. The dishwashers have black,
white, almond, bisque and stainless steel front panels. The
following model and serial numbers are printed on a label
located on the dishwasher’s plastic frame on top of or to the
left of the door opening.
For more information, contact Maytag Corporation at (800)
675-0535 anytime, or visit
