GE, GE Adora™, GE Eterna™, GE Profile™ and Hotpoint®, Dishwashers

Published April 15, 2016 · Recall initiated: August 9, 2012

What's the hazard

An electrical failure in the dishwasher's heating element can pose a fire hazard.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers, disconnect the electric supply by shutting off the fuse or circuit breaker controlling it and inform all users of the dishwasher about the risk of fire. For all dishwashers, contact GE for a free in-home repair or to receive a GE rebate of $75 towards the purchase of a new GE front-control plastic tub dishwasher, or a rebate of $100 towards the purchase of a new GE front-control stainless tub dishwasher or GE Profile top control dishwasher. Consumers should not return the recalled dishwashers to the retailer where they purchased as retailers are not prepared to take the units back.
