Samsung electric range recall: check the control knobs
A U.S. recall covers certain Samsung slide-in electric ranges because front knobs can activate accidentally. Check the exact model before acting.
This independent explanation does not replace the recall authority or manufacturer. Recheck the linked official notice before acting, because remedies and contact details can change.
Which products are affected?
Certain Samsung slide-in electric ranges with front-mounted knobs. The official CPSC notice contains the controlling model-number table; appearance, color, or brand alone is not enough to establish coverage.
Which countries or sales regions are affected?
The cited recall applies to products sold in the United States. Owners elsewhere must use the recall authority and Samsung support site for the country where the appliance was sold.
What should owners do now?
Keep children and pets away from the controls and check whether the range is in the recalled group. If a knob activates unexpectedly, there is smoke, or anything is heating without intentional use, turn the appliance off only if safe and contact emergency help or the manufacturer as appropriate.
How do I check the complete model?
Find the complete model number on the appliance rating label without moving or opening a live appliance. Compare every character with the model table in the CPSC notice. If the label location is unclear, use the owner manual or Samsung support rather than guessing.
Is there a free repair, refund, or manufacturer remedy?
The CPSC notice directs affected consumers to contact Samsung for a free set of knob locks or covers compatible with their model. Follow the current official recall instructions; remedy availability and wording may change after this article is reviewed.
What should I not repair myself?
Do not remove the control panel, bypass a switch, alter wiring, or install an improvised knob restraint. This recall concerns unintended activation; a home electrical modification could add shock or fire risk and may interfere with the official remedy.
