Fiery Dishwasher Recall Expanded To Cover 557,000 Total Machines

More than two years after 149,000 dishwashers from multiple major brands — including Bosch and Kenmore — were recalled following reports that power cords could overheat and burst into flames, the safety campaign has been expanded to cover another 408,000 dishwashers. In all, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says that 557,000 dishwashers manufactured by BSH Home Appliance and sold under the Bosch, Gaggenau, Jenn-Air, Thermador and Kenmore Elite brands are affected by the recall. Back in Oct. 2015, BSH Home Appliance initially recalled 149,000 dishwashers — sold between 2008 and 2013 — after finding that the power cords could catch fire.
