What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Frigidaire is recalling approximately 185 self-clean gas ranges, model # LGGF3043KFM, with serial numbers ranging from VF20457216 to VF20457555. These ranges were sold exclusively at Lowe's stores from February 2012 through March 2012 for between $800 and $1,000. The recalled units feature five burners, a stainless steel exterior, and a Frigidaire nameplate centered on the lower part of the oven door.

The recall is issued because there can be a delayed ignition on the bake and broil features of the oven, which poses a fire hazard. One incident was reported, but no injuries or property damage have been reported.

Consumers with the recalled model and serial numbers should stop using the bake and broil functions immediately. They should contact Frigidaire toll-free at (888) 360-8556 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.selfcleangasrangerecall.com. Frigidaire will provide information about an inspection and arrange for a free in-home service and repair if necessary.
