GE Dishwashers
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Water condensation can drip onto the electronic control board, causing a short circuit and resulting in an overheated connector. This poses a fire hazard to consumers.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
