GE Microwave Combo Wall Oven Picture
General Electric Co is voluntarily recalling 92,000 microwave combo wall ovens because of fire hazards. The ovens in question featuring a traditional thermal oven below a microwave in a design that can be embedded in a wall were sold from January 2000 to December 2003 under the GE and GE Profile brands, as well as the Kenmore brand of Sears Holdings Corp.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the problematic ovens retailed for $1,500 to $2,000, has caused 30 cases of minor property damage (e.g, adjacent kitchen cabinets) but no injuries related to the problem.
GE and Sears are offering owners of the affected ovens a free repair, a $300 rebate toward the purchase of a new GE or Kenmore brand unit, or a $600 rebate toward the purchase of a new GE Profile brand unit.
Consumers who own the microwaves in question can contact GE at (888) 240-2745 or Sears at (888) 679-0282.
