Description
This recall involves Kenmore 24-inch-wide gas and propane, wall-mounted ovens. The self-cleaning ovens were sold in white, black, bisque and stainless steel, and have the Kenmore name printed on the oven control panel. The model and serial numbers of the ovens that are part of this recall can be found on the frame on the left side of the oven cavity. Model Numbers 790.30472400, 790.30473400, 790.30473401, 790.30474400, 790.30479400 Serial Number Range NF401xxxxx through NF610xxxxx
Hazard
During extended broiling, gas can build in the oven cavity and escape when the oven door is opened. This poses a burn and possible fire hazard to consumers.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the "broil" feature on recalled ovens and contact Transform for Kenmore branded products to schedule a free repair. Consumers may continue to use the "bake" feature.
Incidents and injuries
Electrolux has received 16 reports of incidents involving gas build-up, including flames escaping from the oven door, burns to the hands and face, and singed hair.
