Affected model numbers
JGD8348CDPThe model name and serial number are printed on a label on the vent fan housing, which is visible in the cabinet under the cooktop.
Why it was recalled
The recalled cooktops have switches located too close to the gas tubing leading to the grill burner. Electrical arcing can cause the tubing to leak gas and ignite, resulting in a fire hazard to consumers.
Incidents and injuries
Maytag has received four reports of cooktops catching fire during use as a result of a gas leak. There have been no reports of injuries.
Official remedy
Customers who have purchased one of these recalled cooktops should contact Maytag to schedule a free, in-home repair. Consumers should stop using the grill or burners activated by the two left hand controls until the repair is completed. The center and right hand burners can be used.
