GE dishwashers recalled for fire hazard

Posted: Updated:

(CNN) - A series of fires has prompted the recall of more than a million GE and Hotpoint brand dishwashers.  

Thursday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the voluntary recall of machines sold from March 2006 to August 2009. They range in price from 350 to 850-dollars.  
The CPSC says no one was injured in the fires, but three of them caused extensive property damage.  Owners of the impacted dishwashers are advised to stop using them and turn off the fuse or circuit breaker to the machines.  


G-E says it will repair the problem free of charge.
