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.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves appliances posing genuine fire and burn hazards with 36 reported activation events. However, the source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the hazard requires liquid spillage to trigger. Score 3 (High) applies because this is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet occurred.

Plain-English summary

Wolf Appliance Inc. is recalling approximately 44,000 Dual Fuel ranges with infrared griddles. The ranges are stainless steel units measuring 36 inches, 48 inches, or 60 inches wide, with oven door panels available in white, black, or stainless steel. The recalled units have serial numbers between 18517201 and 18868311.

The ranges pose a short-circuit and unexpected griddle activation hazard. If liquids boil over or are spilled on the griddle, the range can short-circuit and turn on the griddle unexpectedly, creating burn and fire hazards. Wolf Appliance has received 36 reports of griddles turning on. No injuries have been reported.

The ranges were sold nationwide through home appliance stores from August 2020 through September 2024 at prices between $12,500 and $23,000. Approximately 1,400 additional units were sold in Canada.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ranges and contact Wolf Appliance to schedule a free repair in their home.
