The risk is elevated in wet environments like kitchens and laundry rooms, where water reduces the skin's electrical resistance from 100,000 ohms to under 1,000 ohms, making even 120-volt household current potentially dangerous.</p> <p>GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are your primary defense against electrical shock from appliances. California code requires GFCI protection on all outlets within 6 feet of a water source and on all [dishwasher](/blog/repair-or-replace-dishwasher) and laundry circuits. If your Frigidaire cooktop is not connected to a GFCI-protected circuit, consider having an electrician upgrade the outlet — a GFCI breaker varies by model and condition and installation runs. This provides protection independent of any specific recall.</p> <h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <h3>Is a cracked glass cooktop dangerous to use?</h3> <p>Yes. A cracked glass-ceramic cooktop can expose the radiant heating element (which operates at 1,200-1,500 degrees F) or the wiring beneath. Liquid spills can penetrate through the crack to the electrical components, creating a short circuit and shock hazard. Even a hairline crack can propagate suddenly during heating. Stop using a cracked cooktop immediately.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Worried about your cooktop?
