Why it was recalled
The cooktop's burners can remain on after use, even after being turned to the "off" position, due to misaligned burner knob stems and fractured burner knob components that can exist in units manufactured between July 2022 and September 2022, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
GE Appliances has received 83 reports of incidents in which a burner failed to regulate temperature accurately and/or power off when the knob was turned to the "off" position. No injuries have been reported.
The official remedy
Consumers should immediately contact GE Appliances to arrange for free installation of a replacement burner knob assembly. When not in use, turn the unit off at the circuit breaker. Do not leave flammable materials or empty cookware on or near the cooktop. In the affected units, the burner can remain on following use even after being turned to the "off" position. In this case, the "On" indicator light will not be illuminated, but the "Hot Cooktop" light corresponding to the burner will remain illuminated until power to the cooktop is turned off at the breaker switch.
