GE and Hotpoint dishwashers
Published January 7, 2026 · Recall initiated: December 14, 2000
What's the hazard
The dishwashers have a slide switch that can melt and ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
What to do
Both the CPSC and GE strongly urge consumers who have not replaced their recalled units under the original rebate program to contact GE right away to schedule a free rewiring or participate in the original rebate program. Until the dishwasher has been rewired, consumers should keep the dishwasher door unlatched at all times to prevent the flow of electrical current that creates a risk of fire. With the free rewire option, a GE-authorized technician will rewire the slide switch at no cost to consumers. This supplements the original rebate program announced October 19, 1999.
