  Millions of GE Dishwashers Recalled, Gov't Says To Stop Using Them

Approximately 2.5 million GE dishwashers have been recalled by the company and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. The machines can cause a fire hazard, according to the government agency, which said that GE has received 191 complaints about fires, including 12 that spread beyond the unit itself.

Brands included in the recall were sold for a four year period beginning in 1997. GE branded dishwashers are not the only ones recalled. Those branded Hotpoint or Sears Kenmore may also be impacted. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers and contact General Electric for a free repair, a $150 rebate towards the purchase of a new GE dishwasher, or a $300 rebate towards the purchase of a new GE Profile or GE Monogram dishwasher toll-free at (877) 607-6395 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Saturday.
