March 10, 2009
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC),
Maytag Corporation is voluntarily recalling about
1.6 million Maytag®, Jenn-Air®, Amana®, Admiral®,
Magic Chef®, Performa by Maytag® and Crosley®
brand side-by-side and top freezer refrigerators.
An electrical failure in the relay, the component
that turns on the refrigerator’s compressor, can
cause overheating and pose a serious fire hazard.
Maytag has received 41 reports of refrigerator relay
ignition, including 16 reports of property damage
ranging from smoke damage to extensive kitchen
damage.
The
affected units were sold at department and appliance
stores and by homebuilders nationwide from January
2001 through January 2004 for between $350 and
$1600. They were manufactured in black, bisque,
white and stainless steel and have model and serial
numbers with the following combinations:
