Plain-English summary
Amana Appliances is recalling approximately 5,000 gas-fueled, down-draft ranges in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall involves slide-in models with model numbers AGDS901E and AGDS901WW, which were sold nationwide in black or white from October 1995 to July 1999 for between $1,500 and $1,600.
The hazard exists because the oven locking mechanism could unlock prematurely during the self-clean cycle, allowing the oven door to be opened while the interior is at high temperatures. This condition could result in burn injuries to consumers. Amana has not received any reports of injuries associated with these ranges, and the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of harm.
Consumers with these ranges should not use the self-cleaning feature but may continue to use the ranges for cooking. Affected consumers should contact Amana to arrange a free service call to replace the self-clean locking mechanism. The model number is located on the left side of the range below the oven and behind the utility drawer.
