Plain-English summary

General Electric is recalling approximately 2,600 GE Monogram Professional Gas Ranges, specifically the 36-inch and 48-inch stainless steel models with griddles. These ranges were manufactured between October 2005 and May 16, 2006, and sold nationwide through home builders and appliance stores from October 2005 through February 2007 for between $4,000 and $6,000. The affected models include ZDP48N6DHSS, ZDP48L6DHSS, ZDP36N4DHSS, and ZDP36L4DHSS.

The recall is due to a design flaw that can cause an electrical arc between the wiring and the griddle gas supply tube, posing a fire hazard. GE has received reports of six incidents of gas leaking from the griddle gas supply tube, which resulted in five fires under the range top. One consumer reported burns to her hands, and two consumers reported smoke damage.

Consumers with a recalled range should stop using it immediately and contact GE Consumer & Industrial for further instructions and to schedule a free, in-home repair. To determine if a range is affected, check the model and serial numbers located underneath the top ledge above the range controls.
