Product Details

Incident Overview

On January 26, 2026, a consumer reported that their LG electric range, still under warranty, exhibited dangerous behavior. According to the incident report, the top burners sporadically remained on the highest temperature setting even when the control knobs were turned down to low. In some instances, the burners did not respond when turned completely off.

This malfunction caused expensive cookware to be burned and ruined. The consumer also described being sprayed with bubbling oil as the temperature became excessively high despite being set to low. The range was purchased from Lowes and was being used as intended at the time of the incident. The reporter retained the product and filed the report with the CPSC to document the hazard. No medical attention was required, but the potential for serious burns or a fire was evident.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The primary risk is uncontrolled high heat from the burners, which can ignite cooking oils, grease, or nearby flammable materials, leading to a kitchen fire. The sudden surge in temperature can also cause hot oil to splatter, resulting in severe burns to anyone nearby.

Long-Term Risks: Continued use of a range with intermittent control failure increases the likelihood of a catastrophic fire. The defect may worsen over time, potentially causing the appliance to overheat even when unattended, posing a persistent threat to the household.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone in the vicinity of the range is at risk, including the cook, family members, and pets. The hazard is particularly dangerous for children or elderly individuals who may not react quickly to a sudden flare-up or spill of hot oil.

Warning Signs: The reported symptom—burners staying on high heat despite being turned down or off—is a clear warning sign. Other indicators include unusual heat from the control knobs, discoloration of cookware, or smoke emanating from the burners when set to low.
