Hazard

The defrost heater coil can become exposed inside the units, which poses a potential shock hazard to consumers. In some cases, the exposed heater wire can also melt, or burn the unit's interior plastic food liner.

Remedy

Consumers should contact Whirlpool to arrange for a free in-home repair for Amana, Maytag or Whirlpool freezers. There is no remedy available for unrepaired Crosley, Danby and Wood's freezers. Unplug and discontinue use of unrepaired units.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
