Health Canada has issued a recall notice for thousands of dishwashers that it says could be a potential fire hazard.
The public agency says about 61,000 dishwashers - all sold between January 2013 and May 2015 - are on the list. Affected brands include Bosch, Thermador, Gaggenau, Kenmore and Jenn-Air dishwashers, all of which have power cords that can overheat and possibly spark a fire.
The hazard hasn't caused any injuries, but there are five reports of it resulting in property damage in the United States, where 408,000 affected dishwashers have been sold. No damage has been reported in Canada.
A full list of the models included in the recall can be seen on Health Canada's website. To check to see if your machine is impacted, you can find model and serial numbers printed on either the top of its inner door panel or on the right side of the dishwasher panel.
Anyone who owns one of these dishwashers is advised to stop using it immediately and call the Safety Recall Hotline at 1-888-965-5813 for a free inspection and repair. The line is staffed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST.
