Maytag Corporation, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), today announced a voluntary recall of approximately 2.3 million Maytag brand and Jenn-Air brand under counter and portable plastic tub dishwashers. The units were sold at department and appliance stores and through homebuilders nationwide, July 1997 through June 2001.

Liquid rinse-aid can leak from the dispenser of certain Maytag brand and Jenn-Air brand dishwashers and come into contact with the dishwasher’s internal wiring which can short-circuit and ignite, posing a fire hazard.

If you have questions about this process, please contact the Tech Line at 1-800-253-2870 or the Maytag Recall Team at 1-866-483-0032 immediately.
