Incident Overview

On March 17, 2026, a consumer reported a frightening incident involving their Frigidaire Professional gas range. According to the CPSC SaferProducts.gov report (ID 5950112), the consumer had set the oven to bake at 170°F. When they opened the oven door, a huge fire burst out, burning the consumer's ear. The consumer slammed the door shut and turned off the appliance.

This was not the first occurrence. The consumer described two prior incidents where a loud bang, similar to an explosion, was heard during use. The third and most dangerous event involved the large fire upon opening the door. The consumer reported being scared to death by the experience. The product was purchased from Amazon, sold by AAA_Applaiance. The severity of the burn required first aid from a non-medical professional.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: A gas range that emits a loud bang and then erupts in flames when the oven door is opened poses an immediate risk of serious burns, ignition of nearby combustibles, and potential flash fire. The consumer's ear burn demonstrates that even brief exposure can cause injury.

Long-Term Risks: Repeated explosive events suggest a chronic defect, possibly in the gas valve, ignition system, or oven cavity design. Continued use without repair could lead to more severe fires, structural damage to the appliance, or a gas leak that could cause an explosion.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone in the vicinity when the oven is opened is at risk, including the user, family members, and pets. Children or elderly individuals who may be slower to react are especially vulnerable.

Warning Signs: The consumer experienced two prior loud bang incidents before the fire. Such noises, unusual odors, or difficulty igniting the oven may indicate an underlying defect that could precede a dangerous flare-up.
