Fire Hazard with Thermador® Built-In Ovens Leads to Recall by BSH Home Appliances Corp.
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The oven can have gaps in the insulation where overheating can occur and, when used in the self-cleaning mode, it can cause nearby cabinets to overheat. This can pose a fire hazard to consumers.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
