GE Recalls Dishwashers Due to Fire Hazard

GE has voluntary recalled 174,000 GE Profile™ and GE Monogram® Dishwashers because of a fire hazard.

The company said water condensation can drip onto the electronic control board, causing a short circuit and resulting in an overheated connector.

GE has received five reports of fires, four of which caused minor damage to the kitchen countertops where the dishwashers were installed and one caused minor damage to adjacent cabinets and smoke damage to the home. No injuries have been reported.
