Is Your Gas Stove Recalled? Gas Leak & Fire Risk

How to Check If Your Gas Stove Is Recalled#

Follow these steps to determine if your gas stove has an active recall or class action:

1. Find the model number — gas ranges have it behind the storage drawer, on the back panel, or inside the oven door frame
2. Viking gas ranges have had multiple recalls for gas valve issues — if you own a Viking range, check immediately
3. Search cpsc.gov/Recalls with your brand and "gas range" or "gas stove"
4. While checking, verify your range has an anti-tip bracket installed

Common Recall Patterns for Gas Stoves#

Understanding common recall patterns helps you evaluate potential risks even before a recall is announced. Based on CPSC data, here are the most frequent defect categories for gas stove recalls:

• Control knob activation: Knobs that can be bumped to the ON position, releasing gas or activating electric burners. GE (2.5M units) and Samsung (125K units) have major recalls for this defect.
• Gas valve and regulator leaks: Viking, GE Monogram, and Wolf ranges have been recalled for gas leaks at the pressure regulator or valve connections.
• Self-clean cycle overheating: GE Cafe/Profile and LG ranges recalled for excessive heat transfer during self-clean cycles that damages wiring or control panels.
• Cooktop element spontaneous activation: Whirlpool ranges recalled for a firmware bug causing cooktop elements to turn on when the oven door is opened or closed.

After Checking — Next Steps#

Whether or not your appliance is currently recalled, these ongoing practices protect your household:

• Register your gas range with the manufacturer
• Gas range recalls often involve a free in-home repair — the manufacturer sends a technician at no cost
• If your gas range is recalled and the recall notice says to stop using it, turn off the gas supply valve behind the range and use alternative cooking until the repair is completed
• Viking, Wolf, and Thermador ranges have had recalls for burner gas valve leaks — luxury brands carry the same recall risks as mainstream brands
• Check the gas connector behind your range while locating the model number — corroded or kinked connectors are a fire hazard regardless of recall status
