GE Seeking Compliance On Dishwasher Recall

Full page, color ads in major newspapers are showing up regarding the GE dishwasher recall. We reported on the details months ago when they became public, but there is apparently still not enough compliance.

Please do not use affected dishwashers until they are repaired or replaced. The details of the machines are in the link above and cover brand names Kenmore and Hotpoint, in addition to GE. The company is offering a free repair or a rebate amount of varying amounts on a new purchase. All of the affected units are more than five years old.

Consumers need to know that using the dishwasher with a liquid rinse can cause an electrical short-circuit, overheating and even fire.
