General Electric is recalling 92,000 combination wall and microwave ovens in the U.S. due to a fire hazard.
The recall includes built-in units sold under the GE, GE Profile and Kenmore brands.
GE says the door switch in the microwave can overheat and ignite plastic components in the appliance. The company and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission say there have been at least 35 incidents of fire that damaged property.
The CPSC says the lower thermal oven does not pose a hazard and no injuries have been reported.
GE says consumers should stop using the microwave oven immediately and call the company, or Sears for Kenmore ovens.
An official with GE Canada says although there is no recall in Canada, the situation is being monitored.
GE is offering a free repair or rebate on a new product, a $300 rebate toward the purchase of a new GE brand unit, or a $600 rebate toward the purchase of a new GE Profile brand unit. Sears is offering a free repair or $300 rebate toward the purchase of a new Kenmore brand unit.
