Safety Notice-Recall of Certain GE Dishwashers
BURLINGTON, ONTARIO - (CCNMatthews - May 17, 2007) - Mabe Canada, manufacturer and distributor of GE branded dishwashers in Canada, has announced a voluntary recall of certain GE built-in dishwashers. The recall is limited to dishwashers manufactured in the USA and sold in Canada. Approximately 11,300 dishwashers are affected which were manufactured between 1997 and 2001.
The recall includes only dishwashers with serial numbers ending in a "B" and where the serial plate is marked "APPLIANCE PARK 40225".
The models affected are: GSD 2200, 2220, 2221, 2230, 2231, 2625, 2635, GSD 3425, 3435, 3455, GSD 5120, 5130, GSD 5500, 5560, 5920, 5930, 5940, 5950, GSM 2100 & 2130.
Liquid rinse-aid can leak from its dispenser onto the dishwasher's internal wiring which can cause an electrical short and overheating, posing a fire hazard to consumers. We are urging consumers to stop using their recalled products immediately.
If consumers have one of the recalled dishwashers, they are asked to call Mabe Canada's Service Hotline at 1-888-532-5777 to arrange for a free repair. Before calling, consumers are advised to write down the model and serial number and country of manufacturer of their dishwasher. Serial plate can be found on the dishwasher tub just inside of the door.
